No you do not need to remove the rocker arms.
You do need to retorque them while you are in there. The bolts tend to work their way loose after time.

Correct, no need to remove the rocker arms, but remove the glow plugs before you put the new ones in, then install the new injectors, disconnect the CPS on the crankshaft pulley, install the valve covers loosely, crank for a few seconds to push the oil out of the cylinders, alot of oil falls in there. Thought you might need some handy info if you didnt have it already

You can look at this. I think someone said this is like our injectors. Use this for refference because I am not all sure it is the same.

Maybe someone that has done them can tell you more about this. Kris should know if he reads this. clicky here

What injectors did you go with? I'm assuming that when you ordered your DP you told them about the new/upgraded injectors, yes?
