Cured rock or not, your bound to have some die off. Is this a new setup ? If so, just let it go through it's cycle. I wouldn't do a WC for a week or two.

Cured rock doesn't always mean a good thing. Generally cured means most of the die off has been knocked away. You can do types of cycling.
Let the ammonia runs its course. IF you have any life on the rock, you risk losing some of it.
Do water changes when ammonia raises high and try to get any decaying junk off the rock. It keeps the ammonia a bit lower which can preserve some of the nice life on the rock. If you just have plain old fiji rock, then it shouldn't really matter.
