Yours is the bent RS80, right?
Any kind of bend in an RS80 rim means it's dead. The carbon might be delaminated from the aluminium base, so it could explode and kill thousands of innocent bystanders at any moment. As stated, RS80 rims are actually more expensive than complete wheels due to the different discount structures, so a dead rim is a dead wheel.

Cyclelab. Yours is the bent RS80, right? Is the rim particularly out of true when rotated? Does it have a flat spot? It might be that you'd have to do wild things to the tension in the spokes to get it near-true again which would make for an unreliable wheel. As replacement rims are pricey it might well be beyond economic repair. But yeah get someone to look at it again if its not obvious.
