I believe Dior was 100% Mortal. Why? Because he was the product of two mortals (he was born after Lúthien had become mortal).

Dior was called half-elf once in old texts. This definition was removed. The half-elf choice was given later when the Valar had already received the Authority from Ilúvatar to alter the Nature of those involved.

Dior wedded Nimloth (or Lindis depending on text); his children were half-elven. Eärendil was half-elven, and with his marriage to Elwing, the half-elf/half-man ratio was maintained in Elros and Elrond.
