Collect it there (you arrive at T3), drop it at T3 left luggage, do a landside transfer to T5 (Heathrow Express or Tube), do your LHR-DUB-LHR, go to your hotel and stay overnight. The next morning, come to LHR T3 in time to collect your bag before you fly LHR-DFW.
Great suggestion. I'll inquire as to whether they can short check it for me to LHR. I have a (scheduled) 4 hour layover from arrival in LHR to my flight to DUB, so would have plenty of time to do so. Is left luggage landside?
