If we play Drury, it feels quite safe to open 1♠.
If we don't play Drury I think I will do it as well and will bid 2♦ over 2♣ from p, obviously this could take us too high if it's a misfit.
Anyway, someone is probably going to bid hearts, so the main danger may be that p doubles 2♥ from LHO. I will pass any heart bid from p.

Whatever number of diamonds I feel comfortable with. (And no, I don't feel comfortable with 5+).

You'll have to tell me why you think there's something wrong with 1♦, or at least why another call is on the radar screen.
Even if the opponents bid a lot of hearts, I'm bidding the = # of spades.

I'm opening with 1♠ and rebidding ♦ twice (hopefully) I don't feel strong enough to open 1♦ and rebidding spade twice.

hmmm... I'm a "always open the 5-card major" freak, but this seems to be one of those rare occasions where I'll open 1♦ 
The reason is there's a high likelyhood of it coming back to me in 4♥, over which I have a really easy 4♠.

I don't understand.
If you generally open 1M with the 5M-6m hands, you should (by the argument you give) be even more inclined to do so when you have two cards in the other major. They are less likely to bid 4♥ when you have two of them yourself, and it is less obvious that 4♠ is right if they do bid 4♥.
With spades of course we can still bid spades over 4♥. Then again, 1♠ makes it more difficult for them to find their hearts fit.

It's simple: do you prefer to be in this situation
pass pass 1♠ 1♥
pass 4♥ ??
or this one instead?
pass pass 1♦ 1♥
pass 4♥ ??
(Of course, this is only one of the things that can happen.)

Yeah ok. So what you are saying is that with spades you open the minor and with hearts you open 1♥? That makes sense.
My point is just that if you often open 1♠ with 5♠6m, then this particular hand, with a doubleton hearts, is not a hand for opening 1m.

I thought there was some merit opening 1S in third seat with so little defense. Thanks for the feedback.
I think that vulnerable with a passed hand partner I'd pass after wereagles's
pass pass 1♦ 1♥
pass 4♥ ??

I think 1S has merit fwiw.
Hanp, I work on the assumption that most people who just jump to 4H at some point have 10 trumps. Especially with RHO being a passed hand. So I think we are safe bidding 4S in that auction, which in turn makes opening 1D safe.
