if you convert to SATA, then clone it to another WD
1) make sure they have the same LBA's
2) 4061-705094 uses the same chip and able to decrypt the data

First, I see you did it wrong, you have to clone the entire drive I.e.
Code:
ddrescue <parameters> /dev/sdc /dev/sda <logfile>

not a partition (sdc1).
Second, with that size of error , I would have considered to clone it with hardware (I assume you'll have a lot more data out).

75% looks like good data from 3 heads (748GB), and one bad head with no data (252GB, and last successful read was 1.1 days ago). 25% of the data is toast unless you take it to a professional that is capable of replacing heads. I don't see any more do-it-yourself for that drive.

Also, as jermy pointed out, you might have a bit of extra trouble working with the recovered disk since you cloned a single partition to a whole drive.

I can help you with decrypting the data, if you still need. I know how to set up a
decryption filter using cryptsetup in linux.
