Perhaps it is better to understand the phrase dead to sin as meaning in a state of existence involving separation to sin. No longer does our living depend upon the law, rather our life is separate from the disobedience of Him.
Do we violate the law? Sure, no doubt about the legalism, but through faith in Christ we have life because He has already paid the debt of sin.
We've been separated from sin carrying us into death, again by faith, and when we live in that faith we also abide by the law.

I like your explanation.
