Duriel is a nasty surprise for summoners in particular. Most summoners don't care about things like defense and hit points, and are weak as chicks without their minion wall.
Let this be a lesson for the higher difficulties, by the way.
Now as for how to get past him: he doesn't do all that much more damage than one regular monster, and neither does he have an excessive attack rating. Get a decent amount of defense (you can gamble for tier 1 ancient armor!) and at least some life.
His stats in Hatred (Normal) are:
Level: 22
Damage: 70-94
Time Strike damage: 140-188 (*)
10% chance to cast Fortress on striking
Fortress damage: 35-47
Attack rating: 386
Defense rating: 102
Hit points: 57244
Resistances: poison 100%
(*) The delayed damage part (the green sparkle), but if you get hit by that, you are an idiot.
The big one is the Time Strike hit, which does loads of damage even if you avoid the delayed hit. With 50 vitality and ~350 life, this kills you in 3-5 hits.
On the bright side, that's
only 386 attack rating. By now, you should have at least that much defense - if not, good luck in Act 3. If worst comes to worst, gamble for tier 1 full plate mail (91 str, level req 11) or ancient armor (97 str, level req 11), both of which can have over 300 base defense.
You have minions, which means you have either Nightmare, cold spells, or a physical attack (with a cold damage weapon on switch). If you can slow him down enough, you can stay far ahead of him and he never gets close enough to attack you. This is how most people beat him.
Don't ever tank him. If he doesn't just pwn you in a few hits, he will drop Time Strike on you and this will kill you if you don't move away - at worst that 10% proc will go off and you get mowed down by Fortress. You have to do everything possible to avoid his attacks. Use ranged attacks, preferably damage over time attacks (Legion) and set up a town portal to escape when you run out of potions.
If worst comes to worst, use consumables! Spam Elixirs of Vitality or buy a Spirit of Divinity (6 seconds of invulnerability) for ~90K gold. If you get in trouble, use the Spirit and dash for the portal.

25% in Hatred (Normal), but being a boss, he has a x10 damage multiplier against minions.

Well, that's ~150 shots.
Just stay out of his jaws and you'll be fine.

Yes, you can. Not that early, though.
