I would play ♥A and ruff a ♥, then take ♦ finesse (small to Q) . Did i survive ?
If so, now i ruff 3rd ♥, then ♣ to A and try to ruff 4th ♥, i can make even if overruffed now i guess.
If i didnt survive, lets say they play another ♦, i will ruff 3rd ♥ and hope ♥K and 4+ ♣ in same hand. Cashing ♠ A and then going to dummy with ♣ A and cashing all trumps.( unless i lost to stiff K )

You have three reasonable plays:
(1) Kx, KJ or Kxx of diamonds onside (low to the ♦Q);
(2) Jxx of diamonds onside (cash the ♦A); or
(3) KJx of diamonds onside (low to the 9 or run the 10).
Obviously, playing for Kx, KJ or Kxx of diamonds onside is best of these three plays.
You could bring in the diamond suit if KJxx of diamonds is onside if you play for it, and you can make 12 tricks if you time everything right and LHO has at least 3 hearts, but that is way against the odds.

My guess: ♥A, ruff a ♥ high, ♣KA, ruff a ♥ high, ♣Q throwing a ♠, ♠A, ruff a ♠, ruff a ♥ high, finesse ♦Q.
