Ok now this takes the "Most egregiously creative misuse of ZFS" award :-)
I doubt ZFS can help if badblocks "didn't work". It would help to know what was the problem with it, but generally a destructive test reveals a lot. OTOH, you can also do better by writing a small program which writes random data + its checksum (4K data fro /dev/urandom + md5) to the whole disk. A second program can read the chunks back and report locations where the data doesn't match the checksum.
