Alright, so I've found a world seed that spawns you in a forest, in which there are quite a few basins, a couple of which contain surface level iron! The seed was used in Marrilland's Hardcore 100 Diamond Challenge, and the entering of is shown
Yup, the seed is: "Toothpaste on my Teeth" without the quotation marks. This has been tested on 1.2.5 and 12w23b, so it should work on other snapshots too.
And now for diamond coordinates!
(Encased in Stone, not attached to a cave.)
X: -280
Y: 12
Z: 262
(On the ground of a cave, next to a lava pool)
X: -282
Y: 12
Z: 148
SNAPSHOTS ONLY
(This one has the coordinates of the blue wool of a desert pyramid that has diamonds in its chests)
X: 122
Y: 66
Z: -181
More will be posted as they are found!
If you do try this seed out, and find diamonds not listed here, please post the coordinates.
Stronghold Coordinates
Stronghold #1
(These coordinates are a safer place to enter, but are not right at the end portal)
X: 96
Z: 1024
(It is safe to dig straight down at the above coordinates until you reach the stone bricks)
Exact End Portal Coordinates
(There is a small cave in between ground level at the X and Z and the exact coordinates, but the cave is way above lava layer, so the only thing to worry about is the monsters.)
(These coordinates are exactly Z -1 from standing right on top of the Silverfish Spawner.
X: 70
Y: 41
Z: 1046
There are also many other cool things, including a few surface level lava lakes somewhat near the spawn!
This post will show the screenshots people have submitted. If you do take a screenshot, please turn off the HUD by pressing F1 before taking it, and you can turn it back on with the same key.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
"The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant; it is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo
I also discovered that within the boundaries of a map created at spawn, there is a stronghold between layers 40-50 inside a jungle. If you want the coordinates, I can get the coordinates of X and Z (It's safe to dig straight down until you reach the stronghold from the coordinates where I entered.)
