A while ago I came across this amazing video, which answers your question thoroughly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vq2xt2D3e3E According to that video the specific scale pattern you gave is called Dorian #4 (the # here denotes a sharp sign, not a number sign). This basically means that it is like Dorian, but the with the fourth tone raised by a halftone. The specific scale starting at D therefore is D Dorian #4.
