PLA seems like to build many variants, and keep improving them without introducing them into service in large numbers. This is noticeable for nearly all PLA weapons programs.
There hasn't been official confirmation of J-11B regiments, even though PLA is much more transparent now. This is really odd considering CAC is already working on 4.5 generation aircraft and Y-20 prototype is being built. What is stopping the J-11B from entering service?
The way I see it, there are only two possibilities: One is that they will move toward J-11C (making it similar to Su-34 would be a good idea) and Two is they will go for an indigenous conventional winged 4.5 generation bomb truck like a JH-8.
