OP/Nayas:
Dyneema is commonly used because the sling is thin making it easy to clip/unclip and all three loops fit into the biner, in comparison to nylon slings that are fatter, more cumbersome and bulky in the biners. Sure the Dyneema slings look thin and may not feel as secure, but they have adequate strength.
dT:
Extendable draws = alpine draws = compacted draws = tripled draws. With a simple neat trick, the sling is arranged with three loops through each biner. It can be used either in this compact arrangement, or by unclipping two of the loops, used completely extended.
General Note:
As per R & I there are several possibilities for the noted biner failures that may, or may not, be related to the draws. Regardless, there are reported problems with the use of keepers on extendable draws; both from possible biner breakage, and from inadvertent unclipping resulting in a disconnected draw.
