Help
Yeah, I use Rubensohl sort of structure after weak jump overcalls.
I actually consider it quite odd this isn't standard practice like it is after (2M) X (P)
I'd bid here:
1D (2H) 3C (4+, unbal, inv+ D)
3H - 3S (GF looking for stopper/advanced cue, cue)
4C - 4H (Cue, kickback)
5C - 5NT (2Keys, grand probe confirming all keys)
6C - 7D (Ekstra trick(s), that's it)

This hand just doesnt seem that hard.
After a routine 1c (2h) 3d p north just has a splinter. If south has a double heart stop he will bid 3N on awinde class of minimum hands. If he has only a single or no stop we should easily have enough for 5D and 6 could easily be cold. A splinter does the job and south is very excited.

I'd open 1♦ in my regular partnership which would put us in a great position. However, this is a hand that doesn't really need to open 1♦ imo.
Anyway, I haven't read all responses but one question about this style caught my eye: "what will you do over false preference after 1♦-1♥-2♣-2♦?" I play this as forcing, and it has helped us to find the best minor suit score a lot. There are situations where you get to play a poor contract, but when opps didn't intervene, usually a 7-card trump fit splits 3-3.
