Tips for Playing as Zilean with Diana
Time Warp is an effective way to enable allies to finish off enemies, or escape from a losing battle.
Chronoshift is a powerful deterrent to attacking your carries, but casting Chronoshift too early in a fight can cause the enemy to switch targets too soon, making it less effective.
You can combine the use of Time Bomb and Rewind to place two Time Bombs on a target quickly. Placing the second bomb will detonate the first and stun all nearby enemies.
Advice to Understand How Diana Will Play
Use Moonfall and Lunar Rush to stay on targets and activate Moonsilver Blade for extra damage.
Consider when to cast Lunar Rush without Moonlight and when to wait for another Crescent Strike.
Landing Crescent Strike is critically important, but don't be afraid to miss. The cooldown is short and the mana cost is low.

This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing synergisticly with Diana.

Is Zilean better when played alongside Diana?
There is no perfect ally for Zilean that will always be his #1 teammate. Yet, overall, Diana is a not very good companion for Zilean.

This clearly indicates that there is a harmful bond between Zilean and Diana that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
Diana has a lower difficulty than Zilean. That means Zilean players don't need to be cautious when lining up Diana allies to fight alongside, as they will require a relatively low level of skill to be able to fight well with you.
Working alongside, you should expect to witness an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to deal magic damage. Together, these two are able to dish out a surprising amount of magic type damage.
Conversely, by aligning Zilean and Diana together, you may not be granting your side very much anti-tank damage dealing potential. We recommend you include other champions on your team that fills this relative disparity in their kit.
Regardless of your Diana ally's ability, you should focus on maximizing your income, warding to avoid ambushes, and taking down objectives. If you heed this simple advice, you will do well, regardless.
