I haven't actually replaced trapeze wire with dyneema, but I've done other wire replacements (sprit lines, shrouds...). There's no down side. With that small of a diameter line, though, splicing will be a little difficult but Brummel eye splices will work. Personally, I'd use uncovered line and replace every 2-3 years...if you want them to last longer, you can use covered line, but that just makes the splices a little harder. You could talk to your rigger if you have one or go to APSLTD.com and talk to their riggers, they'll do the splices for you if you aren't experienced.
