It took a lot of replies, but finally someone got the point of posting this hand--
As Justin points out, your whole hand is in hearts and that is not going to help partner much.

You think that all the other 3♥ bidders didn't notice this? At least two of them mentioned it explicitly:
Lalldonn: I like 3♥, with both majors looking offside. If partner rejects with his short hearts then I really don't think game will be a bargain.
RHM: We know partner has a distributional hand short in hearts.
