If the GFS2 superblock is gone, it sounds like there was major damage. I've seen hardware problems do that, like when a RAID controller makes scrambled eggs out of a device. Perhaps you can use dd to save off the first 1MB of metadata (which should just be gfs2 metadata) and I can see what's left for you.
