As East, you would like to know whether partner has four hearts or four spades for sure before you commit to one or the other.  With this hand, you can use a Responsive Double to say to partner, I have four of both majors partner and 8-10 support points.  You pick!  If West bids 3 of a major, you have told your story and pass.
