Nikkalmati: 
You have raised an intriguing issue that I had never thought of.  If NF  and 
DD were working together during DD's lifetime, it must have been within the  
last 120 years or so.  Yet he seems to be close enough to NF to convince  him 
to give up the stone and die.  Perhaps they had known each other  for a longer 
time and had worked on the stone and other projects together.   
If DD rejuvenates at regular intervals, he could be as old as NF, or older.  
He would have no need of the stone, because his transformation comes from  
another source.  Call it Phoenix power.  At the time we see him in the  Pensieve 
he is only 100 years old in his current avatar.   It does not reflect his true 
total age.  Of course, this would be another  clue that DD is not dead and 
avoids the problems presented IMHO by murder or  assisted suicide.
