No choices, sorry.
If, by some remote chance, you exhaust this new state claim
prior to the 2011 claim bye sometime in 2012, then you could begin the 2011 tiers, assuming Congress has kept appropriate legislation in place:

General Tier/EB Facts:
If tier benefits are paid on a claim before its bye, under present legislation, those tiers can be resumed under a subsequent period of unemployment, provided legislation is still in place.

Nonetheless, you are still stuck with the new lower state claim benefit until it is exhausted.
Point of fact, you are tested for new claim eligibility at your bye (benefit year end), as well as quarterly, as long as you are drawing EUC benefits. You've apparently been working while drawing benefits. Those earnings together with any carryover not used to establish your 2011 claim created new claim eligibility which superceded any claim to tier benefits from the 2011 claim.
At the time you were told you would go back to the 2011 tiers, there were no eligible earnings to consider. That circumstance changes quarterly, depending on whether or not you have worked during your benefit year.
You have been caught in the wonderful Catch22 world of working while collecting unemployment benefits. It is only a matter of time, if you work and collect benefits, before you will become eligible for a new claim.
