I know, I am late but as an answer, although TaskPane's title can not be changed dynamically but title can be differ from what we set for "DisplayName"

<Action xsi:type="ShowTaskpane">
  <TaskpaneId>TaskPane1</TaskpaneId>
  <SourceLocation resid="yoururl" />
  <Title resid="shortstringresid"/>
 </Action>

As you mention correctly the DisplayName comes from add-in manifest and cannot be dynamically changed. I would suggest to use Web page aria to display sub-headers required for particular page.
