Hmm, interesting idea. I think you mostly hit the right notes there. Personally I honestly believe that the Eleventh Doctor's run is really quite self-contained emotionally and all you need need is the Silence in the Library episodes and maybe Dalek and/or the End of the World for the Time War.
But since you list a lot of episodes I just really like, I enjoy the idea of framing them as flashbacks while still tying into the current series.
Also, your comments on how you dislike the Tenth Doctor yet find two of your favourite stories are his is kind of apt for me too. I mean, I'd probably throw the Curse of Fenric into that threesome, and maybe S5 two-part finale (but also, that's probably my favourite, but because of context whereas I think the others stand much better alone). But still, I'd go so far as to say that Tennant is one of my least favourite doctors. Not so much because of what he could have been, but because of the general tenor of his run and how much bits of it pissed me off. But you already know that rant. ;)
The point is, if you haven't seen it, behold this amazing vid which largely focuses on the Human Nature/Family of Blood arc:
