Title and description are defined in aspects. CMIS 1.0 has no idea what aspects are. Therefore you must workaround that problem. If you were using the OpenCMIS library for Java you could use the OpenCMIS Extension for Alfresco which knows how to deal with aspects. I do not know if something similar exists for DotCMIS. You'll have to ask around.

Starting with Alfresco 4.2.e, Alfresco supports CMIS 1.1 which has native support for aspects (in CMIS 1.1, aspects are called "secondary types"). So, when DotCMIS supports CMIS 1.1, you can use it with Alfresco 4.2.e to get and set properties defined in an aspect and you won't need an extension.
