I have a very dead WiiU which is NOT recoverable but I do have all the files backed up for nand etc.
Also I have a decent external drive with which is filled with games etc.

Now if I get another WiiU can I basically decrypt the drive and re-encrypt it to the new WiiU/Nand?

Any ideas?

Yes, but the games, updates and dlc installed won't work, as the new Wii U is missing the tickets. If you transfer your NNID to the new console your downloaded games might work.

Alternatively, you could use dumpsterU to dump your saves

The answer is yes, but all the data will get deleted.
