Yes, pump is probably f***ed if it has been run backwards (when you say wired wrong, I'm guessing you mean reverse polarity), as there would have been no fuel drawn into it.
I don't know about fuel pumps, but hydraulic pumps in general, die from cavitation (eat themselves) if there isn't enough fluid supplied to them:?

Try re-fitting your standard pump.
