Covered High Mod Finish
Yes, Spectra/Dyneema is heat sensitive.
Properly using heat shrink over covered rope should not transfer that much heat to the core. The tubing shrinks quickly and the heat should dissipate quickly. Use a heat gun (no flames) and move quickly.
I prefer to finish with a bit of service (done with tarred marline) -- it gives a cool old school/new school contrast and is very durable. I tape down the tail with friction tape and the serve over the top.
