Personally I agree, diamond is the best way to sharpen high carbide steels like D2. However I think you'll also find many knife-knowledgeable folks who like regular SiC and AO stones for the toothy, working edge you can get that's good for slicing.
FWIW, CPM D2 is a whole different story, out of curiosity I sharpened one on a Norton medium India stone and it took a beautiful edge with little evidence of chippiness. Obviously it's quite fine grained, and a nice steel to use.
