you need to lead a spade at t1 or 2 which has the effect of shortening dummy before partner's club stop can be forced out, resulting in -1 or playing 3 rounds of diamonds when they prove to be 7222 with kx in dummy is also enough i think. so what were all the a of d leaders planning to do later?

Really? Declarer wins ♦K at trick two and plays a heart up. North wins and plays another diamond. Declarer ruffs in hand, pulls trump, and sets up clubs.
I admit it seems quite natural to ruff the third diamond in dummy.

South uppercuts with ♥7.

When opponents bid a thin game like this one, one of them is usually short in diamonds.

I would lead a spade, but certainly would never bid like that. Slow in, slower out! Wtf!?!
