North has a clear jumpshift. You are really counting HCP if you rebid 2D with north's hand. South also had a good strong jumpshift if you play that.
The 3N bid...well let's just say LOL does not describe it. I mean, south has never shown a club stopper for starters, secondly you are a completely prime 65 with a spade. At the very least you want to play 4S, and if partner can bid 4H over 4D that's great too. If partner bids 5D thats also great.
After 3N south could either bid 4C or 4S. 4S is still a slam try (no 4S bid over 2D, no 4S bid over 3D), so 4C would be the best possible slam try. Since in my world north has shown the CK south has a great hand and makes slam opposite many slam suitable mins like A A K and a spade or AK K and a spade or KQ A K and a spade south should bid 4C. If north bids 4S you can give up.
After 4S north had an easy bid, he has a great hand for a spade slam and has an easy keycard bid.
North's bidding was basically ludicrous.

North needs to learn the power of AK.

- I dislike 2♦, i think 3♦ is a much better bid
- I dislike 3♦ as long as i bid only 2♦ before (when do i start to show this great hand?), 4♦ now
- I don't understand 3NT
- South should have bid 4♣ now, as Justin said, 4♠ is still a slam try, but a mild one
-Pass - North is finishing a sequence of completely bad bids
- Insults - never

Why not a strong jump shift of 2S over the 1H opening?

You're not allowed to use SJSs. Sorry.
Anyway, something like
1♥ 1♠
3♦ 3♠
4♥ 6♠
should be ok.

6♠? you can count 15 tricks if partner shows 3 kecards with ♥Q, why don't you try blackwood?
