1. Are there specific biomes with the most and least amount of lava pools underground?
2. Is it true you are more likely to find diamonds near lava? I've found vastly more diamonds near lava and when I can't seem to find any, there usually isn't any lava in sight. Is there some kind of proof for or against this stated by jeb or mojang?
Torches are your new best friend, water buckets are essential when diamond mining, and more then 1 pickaxe (AT LEAST stone and above) Thats some basic things I follow...
Not only should you have these but a SWORD is also essential as the caves were dark to begin with so there is OBVIOUSLY going to be many monsters (depending on difficulty)
2. Is it true you are more likely to find diamonds near lava?
No but you are a lot more likely to find exposed diamonds near the level 10 lava pits 'cause they open up a lot more air blocks that'd just be stone otherwise!

2. It's not true, it's just that lava is closer to the diamond levels than anything else. You are just really lucky with lava and diamonds probably.
