Bootcamp Broken after Resizing and OSX Update

Hello, so after updating to Yosemite 10.10.3, my bootcamp partition, which was previously resized, has become unbootable. I can't read the partition in finder and can't see it in Startup Disk. It, however appears as "disk0s4" in disk utility. I've posted some outputs of commands suggested in another thread. Hopefully this will help fix this issue.

Can you use Lost my Windows 7 Boot Camp partition after upgrading to Yosemite. Help! as a reference (you have the same issue) and download Testdisk and GPT Fdisk and get started with a Testdisk scan?

Just started with a TestDisk scan, would this be of any concern?

Here is a table which is useful.

I am using the very first MS Data entry's start as NTFS Start in this table. It shows a gap of ~11.5GB. Was any partition resized (Windows or OSX) by roughly this amount?
