how do you attach drip lines to a webbing based suspension system?
Most don't. The buckles or rings will form a drip spot and the tail of the webbing coming down out of them works well to direct any water flow. If you need more than that tie a piece of shoe string or shammy towel around the webbing where ever you want.

Free advice worth what you paid for it. ;-)
Depends on if the buckles are under the tarp or "outside" it, allowing water on the connection behind the buckles. I like to convert my hammocks to a ring on each end - usually larks headed to the hammock, and attach my suspension to that. If I were using webbing and buckles, the buckles would be on a continuous loop larks headed to the ring.

Just to be safe in a decent rain, I always tie a scrap piece of towel around the webbing under the tarp. Just a strip about 1"wide x 8" long or so.
I use a strip of ShamWow.
