what broke was the plastic heater control valve, which then connects to the metal heater core piping. you can view it by removing the drivers side speaker. Easiest solution is what you describe - bypass the heater core by installing a u-shaped pipe and hose clamp all together. The heater control valve is a diy job if you're willing and brave, it requires nimble fingers and lots of patience while working upside down. The part is about $75 retail and your mechanic can probably do it in his sleep.
good luck.
