IMO 2S should deny 3cd hearts. And 3H show 2 cd hearts exactly and deny diamond stopper. After that who knows what the right bid by North is percentage-wise, but it should do so with the right picture of South's hand, not assuming 3 cd support.

Agreed. This is the only sensible treatment with natural bidding methods. Phil Read, a local San Diego expert, used to say, "If you get to the wrong contract, it's because you didn't support your partner's suit." In this case, rebidding spades with 3 hearts makes the subsequent auction impossible.
