fresh boot, killed everything running/mounted from the /dev/mapper lvm 
devices
multipath -F
service multipathd stop

dd'd the first 50MB of the disk then ran:

parted /dev/sda
mklabel gpt
mkpart efi 0M 255M
set 1 boot on
mkpart root 256M 512M
partprobe /dev/sda
sda1/sd2 exist
mkfs.vfat -F32 /dev/sda1
mount /dev/sda2 /liveos
mkdir /liveos/efi
mount /dev/sda1 /liveos/efi
grub2-efi-install /dev/sda --boot-directory=/liveos
# successful, no errors
efibootmgr -v
# looks the same
umount /liveos/efi
umount /liveos
reboot

Now I get a grub prompt, anything else I can possibly rule out to narrow 
it down? its a start now :)
