I know it weighs more but is this jacket as paper thin and flimsy as the old DIADs that weighed 7ozs? or is it a bit burlier now with stronger fabrics?

Flimsy? Umm...No. The jacket is designed to be super light weight and waterproof - both of which it succeeds in doing. I have a "flimsy" older model and love it and just bought my brother a new model. I throw it in a backpack everytime I head out, packs down to nothing, and as one other reviewer put it the Hyvent DT is strikingly competitive with gore-tex. I've used it AT and alpine skiing, backpacking, and around town - never a problem, never a tear. You may want to consider taking better care of your gear or contacting TNF for a warranty issue.
