I would mine those diamonds, take a minute to realize how long it took to find these, then get depressed at the amount of time that I have spent on minecraft, then install toomanyitems in an attempt to make up for all that time lost, then after a week, take a minute to realize how much time I have spent playing minecraft with no worries of losing resources, then get depressed again, then come to the minecraft forums posting on a topic asking what you would do with 4 diamonds.
I prefer spelunking.
And believe me, you will run into a lot of mobs that way.
A diamond sword will save me from being killed a lot, as it kills mobs a whole lot faster.
That means they can't attack me, thus not kill me.
I always have masses of iron anyway, so I can just use that for pickaxes.
Apart from being a bit faster, a diamond pickaxe offers no real advantages to iron pickaxes.
The durability is a bit higher, but there is enough iron around anyway.
I also really don't need obsidian right at the start.
So yea, I prefer a diamond sword.
Don't have time to write out a fully detailed explanation of my opinion as to why a diamond pick > diamond sword soo.......

I'd make a diamond pick and save the final diamond. I usually have enough iron to make several iron shovels instead of a diamond one.
Or, I'd make a diamond sword and save the other two. Then go hunting for a village with obsidian in the chest.

No I will not +1 you unless you say something worth +1ing. Respect is earned, not given.
Want to playa custom map? click my the pickaxe on that top Left of this post and go down to where it says my skype ID, then add me and talk to me about playing!
Sword and armor is more important then a pickaxe on the servers I play on. Whats the use of having flashy gear if someone can just kill you and take it? Iron is common enough and can mine everything but obsidian.
Hmm, I know what I WOULD DO with 4 diamonds on a SMP server :3
1. I would make a diamond sword.
2. I would get a bunch of lava n' water to make a portal mold
3. I'd light the portal and make a blaze spawner exp. farm
4. I'd level up a bunch, head back
5. I'd find 2 more diamonds to make a diamond pick and enchanting table.
6. I'd use the diamond pick to mine 2 obsidian (for enchanting table)
7. I'll make an enchanting table with a bunch of bookshelfs.
8. I'd try to get a level 50 sword
9: (Optional); I'd hunt for more diamonds to make diamond armor
9: I'd use iron to make iron armor
