The macro \slurDown makes a setting that affect all slurs following the 
command. Since you have
specified it after the slur, it doesn't have any effect. Also, since you 
only want to modify a single slur, not all future slurs, it's better to 
either say

\once \override Slur #'direction = #DOWN d'8( b)~

or even better use the  following shorthand:

d'8_( b)~

The reason that you get the problem at all, is that you use \voiceOne 
(which is what you should do since this is the upper voice of the two in 
the same stave) and \voiceOne specifies that all stems should point 
upwards and all slurs should go upwards.
