Are you doing a full dump each time and syncing that? Or are you dumping and syncing incremental streams (i.e. zfs send -i [...])? If the latter, how do you deal with expiring old dumps, without having to re-sync a full dump periodically?

That's what I thought as well. It's impossible to expire old backups that way since all backups sets depend on each other.
