I play!
After ruffing the third club high, play the other high trump (West unblocks) then play three rounds of diamonds and ruff one, and the ace of spades. Now exit with your trump, and you get a ruff/discard on the club! If West does not unblock, then you play two diamonds and exit with heart and get a lead into your spades. Contract made!

west ruffs the third diamond and his partner still scores the high trump jack...defense gets two clubs and two hearts.

Yes, defending looks right.
Interestingly, this defense can probably be found single dummy too.

How can you find this single dummy? How do you know that the promotion of the trump queen was not the setting trick?
Give declarer F.E. A,AKJxxx, KJxx,xx and you will look quite silly after you unblocked the queen of hearts.
Kind Regards

If holding DA, East does not overtake the CQ but instead signals with a low club (asking for a D switch). I think once East overtook the CQ, he will not have an outside entry.
