have you been able to recover your data? We (DDN) are presently recovering a reformated MDT. Compared to that your case sounds rather minor though (unless you can't assemble a raid5 or raid6). I'm going to update bug#19904 with the new tools we have based on MDT directory entry recovery. If you still can't recover anything those tools might be helpful for you, too.
