I can only do a bunnyhop if I'm using my SPD pedals and cleats, and that's usually not the case anymore. And anyway, in the time/distance it takes to prepare to do a bunnyhop, I can avoid most potholes and similar bumps.
If I can't avoid a bit of rough road at speed, I'll stand up and distribute my weight as evenly as possible, with elbows and knees flexed as much as possible, and coast over it that way. I figure as long as I give the bike plenty of room to bounce around, the bumps are pretty harmless.
