This is coming from having beaten the ED several times, on regular survival and Hardcore.
Diamond anything is not required, or even all that helpful. If you have extra, make some armor. Enchants can be nice, but farming for them is not necessary.
Here's my recommended list:
Iron Sword - you probably won't use it at all.
Pumpkin hat - wear this until you have established a safe open area for fighting the dragon. At that point your eyes are on the air, and you should have a safe house against accidental Enderman aggro.
Full iron armor or greater, random enchants only if able
Two bows, enchanted only if able
Three full stacks of arrows as a minimum. If you struggle with archery, double it. If you landed an infinity arrow enchant on one of your bows, disregard. More is better here, because you might get unlucky with some very high healing towers that are difficult to hit. Even so, I really doubt you'll ever need more than 4 stacks
A stack of dirt for creating a 2 space high roof to retreat to in case Endermen attack. Fight the dragon in the open, but always be near one of these "safe houses"

Shovel
Pickaxe
That... that's about it.
Why would you need a shovel? I know I'd bring one anyways though, so I'm going to shutup.
I bring a shovel to quickly manipulate dirt. Either in building my Endermen safe house, or building a dirt pillar for getting a better shot at a particularly high healing tower.

True, or maybe breaking snow to make snow blocks... if your not prepared.
this is one of my first posts. i used full enchanted diamond armor and a enchanted diamond sword and a enchanted arrow and potion of strengh,speed,night vision and instant heath. it really helps >_<
It's quite simple, all you need is armor and eggs.
Armor for obvious reasons, giving them to the enderman who want them.
Eggs however, is where your attack truly begins. You simply get to higher ground, and toss eggs ABOVE the dragon. By doing so, the ED will eventually increase in weight to the point where it can no longer fly and then you can finish it off with your fists. (500-550 Hits!)

One thing i have not done but want to try sometime is making huge number of snow golems in end.
