The lack of availability of Dynamic spars is a real pain with FW kites and some HQ models. I would try P300 for the vented - I know that some use P200 as replacements on the FW soul standard but they may not be strong enough for a vented kite.
I recently broke one of my Soul ULE's and as an emergency measure used some lengths of 6mm pultruded instead ( well they use it on the Sin) i have to say I've noticed no real difference.
To get the ferrule out - get an old piece of spar or something that will reach down inside the spar to the end of the ferrule and a few inches longer. Now get hold of one of those electric heat guns - the type of thing you get from DIY stores for paint stripping. Put the old spar end down on the floor, slide the broken spar onto it down to the ferrule, heat the area around the ferrule for about 3-4 inches with the heat gun for a minute or so and then bang the broken spar down hard onto the old spar inside and the ferrule should pop straight out.
