Depending on my partner's EAST rebid: 1H 1S 3C 3S (which would cause an argument) 4H P (which would cause another argument if 6H makes)

 

1H 1S 3H (would expect a better suit) 4H 4N (partner loves 2 suited hands even without a fit) 5H 6H

 

The same auction as presented ending up in 6H.

One problem was your methods. Standard methods don't have enough ways to describe hands after 1H-1S auctions. You could adopt the Gazzilli convention. Playing Gazzilli, opener has an easy 3C rebid promising approx 14-16 HCP and 5-5 or better in the rounded suits. After that descriptive beginning the auction should go smoothly.

 

Playing standard methods, I like 2C better than 2H. Partner is more likely to keep the auction open over 2C than over 2H and it has the side benefit of allowing partner to evaluate more accurately opposite this hand.

 

Finally, as others have commented 4H is a clear overbid. Responder's hand is worth no more than 3H.
