I was under the impression that you can create a new zfs dataset and turn on
the dedup functionality, and copy your data to it. Or am I wrong?
you don't even have to create a new dataset just do:
# zfs set dedup=on <dataset>
But like all ZFS functions will that not only get applied, when you
(re)write (old)new data, like compression=on ?
Correct but if you are creating a new dataset you are writting new data
anyway.
Which leads to the question would a scrub activate dedupe?
Not at this time now.
