I'd never have made any direct ♠ raise here. 2♥ natural and forcing and raise ♠s next - help partner evaluate by telling him/her what you've got.
That would definitely keep you out of a bad game on this occation,
I doubt that, I'd most probably support ♠s at the 4-level.
We agree on this approach. I am unconcerned with opp 4♣ bids as I will just bid 4♠. I have some concern with quick opp 5♣ bids but with PD likely having a least 11 HCP, I'll just whack it if it comes back to me.
By bidding 2♥, the same call I'd make if there'd been no o/c, I may find PD with ♥ support and uncover a double fit, and perhaps he has 4 card support and ♥ is the better game. When I bid ♥ here and then later support ♠ PD can be certain that I don't have 4 card ♠ support which I most certainly may have for the 3♣ limit+ bid.
