A DUB-LHR--JFK-LAX/SFO-JFK-LHR--MAD/BCN itinerary, which you can usually pick up for between £1200 and £1500, used to net 2+6+6+6+6+3 = 29 points towards status (48% of Gold, 29% of Platinum). Under the new earnings it'll be 2+10+10+10+10+4 = 46 points towards status (66% of Gold, 33% of Platinum). BA, by contrast, used to be instant Sapphire (BA Silver) provided you had four flights and 42% of Emerald (BA Gold).
There's also some clarity around Premium Economy earning (a bit surprised they haven't taken the opportunity with the widening points gap to have distinct earnings for that) and oneworld F crediting as Business Suite, which must have been commonly asked questions for those using Enrich for the first time.
I think the PEY question was answered a while ago and Im sure Ive seen somewhere on the MH site
Assuming that the table is the same for partner airlines then LHR-DOH-KUL will get you 42 points in J.
