Delete and recreate bitlocker-encrypted clustered file shares?

Hi all - I have a Server 2012 Cluster connecting to a SAN with Basic Disks shared out to 2 different Clustered Shared Volumes.

However, I would like to extend one of the 4TB drives to 6TB (only supported with Dynamic Disks, AFAIK, which in Server 2012 are only supported with an add-on from Symantec which I won't be able to purchase, AFAIK), and I would like to install iSCSI on the Cluster.  The CSV's are bitlocker-protected.

What's the best way to go about this?  Is it as simple as removing the cluster roles, installing the iSCSI services (which can only be set for Server 2012 Clusters at creation - it just won't work trying to install and configure after creating the Cluster)  and reinstalling the Cluster roles with the same names with the same nodes, and all the sub-shares/permissions will be intact?  I think that I can add the storage to the CSV Disk pool if it doesn't pick up the extra 2TB that have been provisioned on the SAN side, but even that seems like it could go sideways with bitlocker.

Thanks!


-Ken
