I used to Larks head nylon slings straight onto wires until i noticed molten cut marks in the slings. And as Dyneema has a much lower melt point than nylon i'd reckon some major damage must occur if a Dyneema sling attached directly to a wire gets weighted.

Assuming the bolts are ring bolts, yeh no worrys.
But slinging through a fixed hanger ,bolt plait etc' will damage the sling, if weighted even potentialy cut right through the sling.
