Another vote for it being a worn chainring. This was the issue when I last had the same problem.

My experience also.
I use one of these. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-KREX-CNC-Chain-Catcher-Clamp-For-ROAD-MTB-31-8mm-Black-/140857146913
I had this problem, but only when I was already using either of the two largest cogs at the rear. Anticipating that the granny ring might be needed and changing to that before going too far up at the back usually prevented chain drop. I have installed a chain-catcher to prevent the problem completely. No amount of tweaking the limit screw could avoid the problem.

If you derailier is set up right you don't need a dog fang, the dog fang will protect your frame if the chain does drop of.

MIL got a dog fang, chain just chopped through it and it got in the way of putting it back on in the middle of a sportive.
I'd rather cure the issue of it coming off... New granny wheel would be my best bet.

Whilst on a MTB ride commute a colleague had his chain constantly falling off due to a chain with a damaged link.
Maybe worth looking for a link out of line.

Success folks, for now anyway, 120 odd miles done and no chain dump after new chain rings fitted.
