You mentioned that you were dd'ing stuff of the partially failed drive. If you get a replacement drive of the same size, dd everything onto it, "pvcreate -ff ..." it and vgcfgrestore LVM's metadata onto it. "vgscan;vgchange -ay" afterwards should bring your VG back to life but you will loose some of your data. As already said by Jon: you want to go RAID1/5.
