Larry Cohen would say this is a no-brianer, you have three diamonds, your partner has six.... that is nine... bid 3♦. But even if you never heard of the law of total tricks, this looks like a 3♦ raise.

Yes, even if the vulnerability was w/r instead of w/w bidding more than 3♦ would be dubious because partner already took the vulnerability into account when opening 2♦.
That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

Exactly and if you don't raise here you have to wonder why you play 2♦ as weak !
