Where are you flying in from? Depending on your zone, you may find it's not a lot more money to fly into Victoria.

Is there any reason in particular you want to stay way out there? Are you a golfer? Victoria is a small city and you can certainly do the gardens and downtown in a day, but it would be much easier if you stayed downtown as opposed to way out at Bear Mountain.

As Jasper has said, if you're going to Banff, you could skip Whistler. Or alternately, if you want to get a sense of the place, drive to Jasper via Whistler.
If you wanted to consider this I'd do Vancouver -> Whistler -> Kamloops in one day, then Kamloops -> Jasper (-> Banff even, via the icefield parkway)
