A D-mod being rated on just the length of the main story is like rating the game on just half of its total content. That is bullshoot. The main story is NOT the entire experience of the game, and it cannot be classified just based on half of the game, or even 80% of it. No games are ever rated just on their main story. Side missions, collectibles, whatever, are always taken into consideration with all those people who rate games professionally. When a D-mod has 6 hours of content, but only 3 of it is main story and "matters", it is still an epic, because it has 6 hours of content. Trying to justify rating a game as a quest because it's main story is 3 hours in this scenario doesn't do justice to the D-mod as a whole. The entire D-mod worth of content needs to be taken into consideration when classifying it as an epic, otherwise you're just disrespecting the D-mod and the author.
Not intending to brag, just making a point: My Shadows of Death D-mod would easily fit into most criteria for an epic (when finished). 5 hours of content, 80% of the map screens used, and probably nearly 400 scripts (not filler). Even you would say that's an epic.
On a side note: @thenewguy, I think I remember my first times through the main game being between 6-8 hours
