To those affected by it, how do you work around it? Crank up the shutterspeed? If so, what speed? Any other way to work around it?

I really don't find any D810 shutter shock problem; even less so than with the D800. My shooting habits didn't really change sinds my D700 days.

Neither I. I've been wandering all the time, what this fuss about shock is all about.

So - you didn't experience shutter shock - just read about it.
Why do you want a work around for something, you have not experienced?
It's not easy to give you a work around for blur we can't address - shutter shock is not the most general issue of blurring.

To answer your question about vibration due to shutter action in the D810, my workaround is to use live view, or more usually, Mirror Up mode with a 2-3 second shutter delay. I use this for anything less than about 1/100 of a second on a tripod (especially with longer lenses).
This does not apply to handheld shots since there other factors more significant for blur than shutter slap.

I have to ask but wouldnt it help if you simply raised the shutter speed?

No shutter vibration problems here.
However, if I had any I would check my technique first.
So called shutter shock on the D810 basically is a non-issue. However, if I had a problem:
1- Tripod
2- Faster shutter speed
3- Mirror up with delayed shutter release
4- Use electronic front curtain
5- VC on with hand held shots
I have yet to read a review where shutter shock on the Nikon D810 was a problem

If you really do not know the answer to that question then it seems as if you are reacting to something you haven't experienced and perhaps don't understand.
Yes, higher shutter speeds can reduce blurs from both subject and camera motion. This has been well known for over 150 years.

Your post makes it sound like the D810 specifically has a shutter shock issue. All SLR style cameras have the potential for shutter shock, so why put D810 in the title? Your question is like asking "how do you guys work around the D810 noise issue when shooting at high ISO?"
Shutter shock is generally not an issue at all with any SLR style camera shooting at normal daylight shutter speeds and hand held. You are going to get more blur from hand holding than you are shutter shock (at normal daylight shutter speeds).
IF you are seeing shutter shock under the shooting conditions you are using it shouldn't be hard to figure out how to eliminate it. Use a higher shutter speed, shoot with mirror up, or for extreme cases use electronic front curtain.

Good response. Yes, a little bit of knowledge (reading a few on-line review) can be worse than no knowledge at all.
Hand holding a camera is likely to produce more blur than shutter shock, especially above that critical range you point out in your response. So shutter shock is more likely to be seen on a tripod mounted camera.
Also, many people refer to "shutter shock" when in fact the biggest culprit is mirror slap. Good SLR cameras have had mirror up capability for decades. As the density of pixels on the sensor continue to increase (D810 at 36MP, Canon 5DR at 50 MP) it becomes increasingly important to eliminate as much vibration as possible if you want to realize the full resolution from all those pixels.
But hinting that the D810, specifically, has a shutter shock issue that requires a work around is nonsense.

Ii is valid to have a section on shutter and mirror vibration and the analysis is good. But the conclusions are poor. Maybe it was written late at night, you would need to ask the author.
Edit: I see that you were specifically questioning their mention of the VR issue. I think having found it they had to mention it. The problem was that it seemed to lead to unclear thinking. They dealt with it in the Shutter and Mirror Vibration section where it does not really belong. They then failed to distinguish in their conclusions the performance of the mirror, the shutter and this VR issue. If you look hard enough the analysis of the mirror and shutter is there and the D810 performs to a high level but they do not draw that together in a clear conclusion. As I say, it may be have been a late night, may have been up against a deadline, kids may have been fractious, missed an edit stage, who knows? But it is not characteristic of DPR reviews.
