Best Y level for diamonds after the cave update?

I used to strip mine at level 11 but people keep saying that changed when the world got deeper. Where should I be digging now to find diamonds fastest?

Around -58 / -59. Diamonds get more common the deeper you go below 0, and -59 sits just above the bedrock layers so you're not mining into them. Strip mine there with a Fortune pick and you'll be fine. Watch for lava at that depth.
