I am inclined to play the 4 tricks subject to change if anything too untoward happens
1) win Q♠
2) win A♥
3) win ♣ ruff
4) small ♥ from dummy to the Q

I'd ruff a cub to dummy and take a heart finesse. Cashing ♥A doesn't help much, and it does increase the risk of suffering a diamond ruff.
... that would still not be conclusive proof, before someone wants to explain that to me as well as if I was a 5 year-old. - gwnn

Take ♠K, ruff a Club, Heart to Q, ♥A, ♠ to Ace, I'm home if I've survived this and spades break no worse than 4-2.
Cashing the ♥A before ruffing a club doesn't work so well for 2 reasons :
1. you allow them to score a possible Diamond ruff ;
OR
2. East may play back a second spade after ♥King, and that may really prove nasty.
Cheers

okay so a little more info. on your first ♥ play east plays the J♥ singleton. To those of you who have already ruffed a ♣ what do you do now (West winning the K♥ over your Q returns the 2♠?
