tom holland - his own workouts called "Total Body Workout" and "Total Body Workout II" and Supreme 90.
tony horton - P90 masters - some are bodyweight. P90x is also very good, but some have pull-up moves. either you can do an actual pull-up or modify with bands, so technically, it's more than just dumbbells. but other than that, it's very dumbbell-based.
body bar is also another good series which you can sub with dumbbells.
core secrets is also good - you use a ball with your dumbbells. technically, it's more than dumbbells, but you feel worked in the way gunnar designed these workouts.
tony little's body express series is just dumbbells. people worry he'll bust out his viking hat and antics, but tony is just a straight up instructor in this set, with great music. most of the workouts in this series are 50 min or less.
cory everson's basic sculpting system. this one is only on vhs.
the above are mostly "body builder" style workouts. i would have recommended joyce vedral, but only her book workouts. i love joyce, but most of her videos paces can be fast except for a few, and she uses lighter weights. if you are OK with joyce's videos, slow duet has a reasonable pace.
some of cathe's older basic workouts might fit the bill - slow and heavy, pyramids, pure strength, gym styles come to mind.
