What version of Spark are you using? The bug you mention is only about the Optional class (and a handful of others, but none of the classes you're having problems with). All other Guava classes should be shaded since Spark 1.2, so you should be able to use your own version of Guava with no problems (aside from the Optional classes).
Also, Spark 1.3 added some improvements to how shading is done, so if you're using 1.2 I'd recommend trying 1.3 before declaring defeat.
