Am I dead or can I "freshen" sda2 so I can at least have 2 
devices in my  array and therefore
have a chance of either backing off the data or rebulding 
with a new sdc ?

Section 6.1 "Recovery from Multiple Disk Failure"

I think a pointer to neils mdadm should be included in the howto: Neils tool
allows much easier recovery from this situation, as it'll just override the
event counter and reuse all the other information. This means that you can't
mess up because of incorrect raidtab etc.

I completely agree. mdadm is a tremendously useful tool, which I
unfortunately hasn't had the time to get acquainted to.

I will be very happy to include your submission  ;)
