Can't really help you directly, but just for the record, I also get
whole-system (i.e. not just frozen disks) freezes of 10-60 seconds on
heavy disk load on a somewhat similar system:
kernel 3.14.27,
md-raid6 (16x 4TB) -> lvm with lvm-cache (dm-cache) -> luks -> ext4.

Haven't had the time to investigate further, and they are still rather
rare for me (~1 per month).
They seemed to start when I added dm-cache and luks to the setup.

No messages appear in kernel log when it happens.
