Have you got room to move a bed and the cot in to your dd's room? We've just done this (dd is 9.5 months, been in own room just under two weeks)
It's a transition. She wasn't entirely like your dd, she'd happily sleep in the cot next to our bed (with side down) and I would pull her over for a breastfeed during the night and she'd either stop there and we'd both fall to sleep or I'd put her back in her cot.
I knew the time would come to move her as I had a feeling we were disturbing her more during the night (DP a snorer) so we took the plunge to move her the other week (tried and failed about 6 weeks ago, I wasn't ready 
) This time I only agreed if the spare bed was put in her room. So if she wakes now I can lie on the bed and still feed her/drop off and know that she's ok before coming back to bed; so we're partially co sleeping still and it works for us - plus we have our room back now! 
As for tips, you need to get her used to the cot, I would use it as play time, So when you are drying your hair or getting changed, pop her in it with a couple of toys just for five minutes. Then gradually increase the time. I always think it must be weird siting in a cot with all these bars around you.
Then gradually work on nap times; get her to sleep as you would normally on your bed and then move her in to her cot.
We've also got a musical mobile, she's had it from day one so is familiar with the sound and it's a cue for sleeping. Music is good for sleepy babies, they do like the repetition I think.
We do a bedtime pattern (dislike the word routine as there is no fixed time just familiar things that take place each night) - such as
Bath
Dressing gown on
Play on bed (in her room)
Breastfeed
More play on bed
Nappy and Pjs on
Breastfeed
Teeth
In cot, allowed to stand up/crawl
I sit on bed or floor and read 4 stories
Light off, music on and i lie her down, give her dummy and read 5th story. Everytime she tries to get up, I lie her back down and say 'sleepy time', continue to read story. If she cries I pick her up. I have no qualms in doing this. But it's a cuddle and then back down and I'll re read her last story until she's asleep. There is a little fight but more grizzly than crying as she knows she's tired.
Hope this helps.
