Wait for her snar to go off CD, and preferably her Claw as well to get rid of her easy escapes, then harass or kill.
Aatrox
Dodge his Es, W him if he Qs, save your ult for the real execute if you have five stacks, you should still have them by the time he revives for the easy auto-attack then execute.
Gnar
Dodge Q, wait for him to waste/use his E, then annihilate him, avoid getting ganked, let them pressure the lane until you get really ahead.
Darius
Wait for him to waste/use his Q and possibly his E as well, it has a big Colldown. Try to Q after him, you'll heal more because it heals more based on missing health. Only do that if you're in a pinch. Don't run until you W him and he doesnt have pull. Make sure you can safely escape if you need to. You need to apply stacks to him faster than he can to you.
Dr. Mundo
Easy money early game, can be a pain in the neck to kill mid-late game.
Fiora
Don't let her get ahead, be wary of her passive and Q, wait for her W to go on Cooldown then use your CC like your W or E to trade/harass/kill.
Gangplank
Barrels can be annoying, wait to W or E after he eats an orange, then just kill him lol
Jax
When he Es, just E him as well to cancel his auto, then auto-attack W, and harass or kill. Wait for his Q to go on Cooldown if you plan on killing him, E isn't too much of a danger.
Irelia
Wait for Q to go on Colldown, easy fight untill late game, she gets lots of tenacity to counter your CC, making easy heals with your Q a challenge.
Jayce
Dodge his kit, wait for his dangerous abilities to go on Cooldown, then look for trades or easily killing him. Jayces usually build glass cannon, if you can CC him it's an easy kill. Save your E.
Jarvan IV
Ult can be a little scary because of the burst, dodge his Q to E dash if you're in danger, they'll randomly throw their E down if their JG is ganking.
Kayle
Wait for their Empowered/Ranged auto attack ability to go on Cooldown, and preferably their heal as well, then go for easy trades. If they ult do not ult, CC them to waste the Ult's timer with your W and E, when the Ult ends it when you Ult them.
Kennen
Dodge his shuriken, the, harass or kill, pretty easy lane as he's rather squishy early, and you rush MR and Tenacity.
Malphite
Pretty easy lane, harass as much as possible.
Garen
Extremely tanky very quickly, be careful of their Q as it silences, meaning you can't Ult them and they may Ult you and kill you first. When their E ends pull them to you and harass.
Maokai
Dodge saplings, harass as much as possible. Your passive and ult tend to counter his ult. Randomly plays aggressively when their JG is ganking.
Nasus
lol
Nautilus
Watch for his annoying Shockwaves, try to negate him from Pulling himself to terrain by getting in the way. If you want to harass/kill easily wait for his Shield to go on Cooldown.
Olaf
Dodge his Qs, aside from this your immense damage output counters his Ult, as it negates CC not damage, which you dish out plenty of.
Poppy
Annoying lane, just fight them, keep them from picking up their buckler for the shield. Usually this is a very easy lane, just fighting and chasing them down.
Pantheon
Avoid their spear throws by letting them push up, maintain farm if you can. When they stun W after it, apply as many stacks as you can, heal off the W, pull them back in when they try to run. Auto-Attack before the W to break his passive then hit them hard with the W. Tough lane until you're ahead.
Quinn
Always an annoying lane. You'll need your jg, or wait for her to waste an important ability then harass/kill. Quinns usually build glass cannon.
Riven
Look out for her third Q and W Stunlock. Pull her back to you if she Es away, then harass/trade/kill. If you can't escape and she ults, cancel her attacks with your E, as it interrupts many attacks, this crushes her dps.
Renekton
Avoid stunlocks, after he uses his two dashes it is easy to chase him down for kills or trades.
Rumble
Avoid annoying tasers. Early game his flamethrower isnt much of a threat unless he has 50% heat or more. Ignore it if he uses it when below 50% heat and it's early game, just chase him down.
Singed
Be very aggressive early to put yourself ahead, never chase this man.
Sion
Very easy early game, whe nyou kill him make sure you don't have low health, as his passive may kill you, unless you can interrupt his attack with your pull, W him to slow him down, or Q his passive to heal yourself. When he charges his knockup just pull him and trade. It cancels his knockup.
Trundle
Wait for his Terrain changing W to go on Cooldown, avoid auto-attacking him and use your abilities if he Bites/Qs you, then you may use your auto-attacks afterwards. If he ults you, disengage unless he has rather low health and 3-5 stacks of hemorrhage. Try to rush health instead of Armor or MR, as his Ult steals portions of it, but doesn't steal health.
Wukong
Avoiding trades at very early game (levels 1-2). Fight and look for early kills from levels 4-5. His ult can be dangerous but can only knock you up once, and he can't use his dangerous abilities again unless he cancels his ult. This is where you trade/kill. Very bad if he gets ahead.
Tryndamere
Wait for his heal and/or his dash to go on Cooldown, wait to fight him at around level 3 for early kills, and he has little to zero fury, meaning minimal chance to crit. If he ults, it's the same case as Kayle. CC him and wait to Ult him after his Ult ends.
Yasuo
Easy lane most of time, avoid his Q spams. Run to bushes not your minions if you're trying to escape him, he will E to your minions with ease, not your bushes. If he knocks you up, pull him before it hits, he shouldn't be able to ult you off of it. He will be vulnerable to many attacks after this.
Yorick
His ult does surprisingly high damage, avoid directly fighting him if it is up. His ghouls are essentially free farm, your W should 1-shot them, refunding your mana for your W off of killing blows, meaning easy extra farm. Use your W to animation cancel your auto-attacks in order to destroy his wall as fast as possible if he manages to trap you inside of it.
Amazingly enough I'm actually one of the best Darius players out there, he's my pride and joy. I'm pretty good at him, and I rarely lose whilst playing him, Darius that is, crazy right

Tried to keep this build as simple as possible. This is the result of many revisions of many other previous builds I've used. This here is the pinnacle of my Darius builds.
