It's hard to say without looking at your site, but there are a few things you need to realize:
1) External PR is a marginally useful indicator at best.
2) External backlinks shown by Google don't indicate much, and neither do the ones in the webmaster console.
3) If your server was out of service for 2 days, you have a much deeper issue than just SEO. You need a more stable host. Solve that first, because if you don't, your SEO budget is being flushed down the proverbial toilet.
4) Your PageRank may be reflective in this case only of the status of your site and it being indexed. Type in site:your-domain.com into a Google search box (not the Toolbar...it always redirects to the site, and I really wish they'd change that) and see if you get results from your domain. If you do, you're indexed; if you don't, then you may well have gotten nailed by the server issue, although I won't say that for sure because experience teaches us that there are many things that people do to their websites, and a lot of them are cheap SEO tricks at the expense of the user experience. I'm not saying you did that; I'm just saying that it's a possibility that can't be discounted at this time.
