Not sure if it's a solution for you, but ZFS.  My domains are all ZFS
(using ZFS on Linux in EL6.5) and my backup server receives incremental
snapshots from primary storage which includes both NFS exports and iSCSI.
ZFS makes creating block devices for iSCSI very easy, and they are included
in snapshot replication.  The replication is not HA but disaster recovery
and off site.

I've hit 300MB/s using ZFS send over IPoIB on my DDR fabric, which isn't
amazing but not terrible for an old DDR fabric.

ZFS is probably not an easy solution as requires rebuilding your storage,
but maybe for future use or other readers it will give some useful ideas.
