Is this restricted to "the" top ten D-Mods, or are you asking for moments from our top ten D-Mods?
At any rate, I'll start out with the mods I've played that you've included on the list.
Pilgrim's Quest - Having to wander about finding a load of Honour potions in order to continue the quest was a standout annoying moment. The escape near the end was pretty cool, as were the new spells. I also remember the bit where I thought "It's going to go all FFVI, isn't it..."
Crosslink - Mostly the references to the original dink are what stuck in my mind - it really used the material. The exploration of the ice area was pretty cool as well, with the cracking ice and the search for a cave.
Prophecy of the ancients - the new spell system was interesting, as was the bit where you blocked the river, which wasn't anything i expected. And, of course, the bit where you thought "it's going to go all FFVI now, isn't it..."
I won't dwell on FB3 yet, as it's not on your list, but again there was the "it's going to go all FFVII now, isn't it..." moment. How about a D-Mod where I actually get to save the world for once, eh?
Lyna's story - the superb level design, with the winding cliffs and the ledges you could drop off. The alternate combat system with different types of arrows seemed a little underused. The interesting new monster types in the dark world (like the exploding slimes and the spitting boncas).
World of DinkC - the postmodernism of it, going into a seperate D-Mod in order to retrieve an amulet etc. The way it was ridiculously easy all the way through before suddenly going into a massive difficulty spike right at the end. The recurring characters were well done.
As good as eternity - The way it had such an enormous map with barely anything on it, except for a tiny quest in some villages. The way it suddenly became fun at the end when you got the strong sword and magic and actually went up against some monsters.
Cycles of Evil - the change on the dragon statue over time was interesting. There were a couple of standout moments in the plot - the mother bizarrely running headlong into the fire, the old man being resurrected for a reason, etc.
