Sure I don't know all requirements in the given situation, but wouldn't it be sufficient to have one LUN with proper zoning for the cluster nodes? To avoid a SPOF you should apply best practice solutions like redundant FC controllers, switches, multipathing, etc. anyway. With a SAN-only design performance would be way better than with DRBD on top of it. It's also easier and less risk for the admin to have one layer less to configure and maintain.
