That's what I'd do. Clean the dead corals off the rock and then place it in a covered (to stay dark) bucket/container of new saltwater with some circulation. Depending on how long the rock will be in the container, you may want to consider doing water changes every week for a few weeks to help clean the rock quicker. This process is often used by people with algae issues and it is called "Cooking Live Rock". The critters that are still alive in your LR, of which there should still be a lot of them, will clean the rock both inside and out during this process. Taking the LR and letting it dry out will cause everything that is in the rock to die, thus causing you to have a bunch of LR that is full of dead stuff that you can't get out of it.
