What I need isn't really an equivalent "zfs send" -- my script can do that. As I remember, zfs send was pretty slow too in a scenario like this. What I need is to be able to clone a btrfs array somehow -- dd would be nice, but as I said I end up with the identical UUID problem. Is there a way to change the UUID of an array?
No, btrfs send is exactly what you need. Using dd is slow because it copies unused blocks, and requires the source fs be unmounted and the destination be an empty partition. rsync is slow because it can't take advantage of the btrfs tree to quickly locate the files (or parts of them) that have changed. A btrfs send would solve all of these issues.
