Well, since it sounds like you are essentially home making a copy of our slings you didn't get the instructions that outline their uses. We've heavily tested our zip slings and they've proven fine as long as their angle is low (45 degrees or less) which helps minimize the tri-loading effect. It's not perfect but it works. That's why we've moved to the primo slings for a more robust setup. In the recommended zip sling configuration the slings are rated at 2,000 lbs tensile test. The angle however is key.
That said if you are rigging excessively tight lines the primo sling design is far better as it eliminates a potential point of failure, has no tri loading and is a very strong yet easy to use system. If you bought the cam buckle to make a zip sling you could reuse it to make a primo sling.
