You could try the recovery programs from Josefs btrfs-progs tree[1]. You 
could also try using kernel 3.2 which allows mounting in recovery mode. This 
mode tries to find an older tree root. But I think your kernel did not keep 
tree root backups for this purpose as it is AFAIR a feature of later 
kernels.

Better use a newer kernel - best use 3.2. There are bunch of fixes which 
improve the situation with lost file systems after unexpected reboots or 
power outages.
