Dry hopped a week ago. Want to keg but there is a scummy looking layer of dissolved hop pellets on top. What is best way to get beer into keg without the hop residue?

Oh my gosh- don't do anything special at all. Especially no rocking or filtering!
All you do is sanitize your autosiphon or racking cane, and start the siphon in the middle of the fermenter. Lower the racking cane as the level of the beer drops. It's super easy and no problem at all.

That's why I always strain into the fermenter,& use hop sacks for dry hopping. Everything stays cleaner that way.
If you're doing a big dry hop though, whole flowers won't all get saturated and it kind of seems like a waste of hops.

straining is overkill, you run the risk of clogging the line if too much is in suspension. I'd say rack between the layers, they'll meet at the bottom and you'll be just fine.
