From what I understand a prusick works best when its wrapped around a thicker diameter rope. For example I use 2.2 zing as my ridge line and 1.75 zing it for the prusick 3 wrapps and no slip. Now that's not to say wrapping a prusick around same diameter cord won't work it can but you may need to wrap it more then 3 times
Brand new dynaglide can be a little slippery. The coating wears away eventually. Put an extra wrap or two to ensure it holds.
Apparently Penberthy Prussiks work better on same diameter lines:

Thats very similar to the Klemheist. I prefer the Klemheist as I find it holds a bit better than the Prusik as long as you don't need tension in both directions.
Single strand (less than mm diameter) and braided (~1 mm) remnant lengths of Dyneema line using a Klemheist attached to DynaGlide WS & structural ridge line. Holds the light loads that have been attached to them.
