It's 9 years old, but the finding was well-established, so it probably hasn't changed much. Maybe people with DID tend to have DP/DR but not vice versa. I see that many of you have depersonalization when an alter takes control, and Holly Gray described recollecting a "dream" which her partner informed her had actually happened (derealization).
I read in Leong, Waits & Diebold 2006 that dissociation is also (perhaps more srongly compared to B) linked with Cluster C personality disorders, particularly Avoidant Personality Disorder. It's interesting because I've suspected that I'm avoidant, although people I know think it's autism spectrum. Maybe it's a little of each.
