To be honest there is no other way. I don't like to have separate rules for create and update methods, so here's what works for me:

// on the abstract Validator class
protected function forgeUniqueRulesOnUpdate($key)
{
    foreach (static::$rules as $field => $rulesString) {
        static::$rules[$field] = preg_replace('/(unique:([^|,]+))[^|]*/i', '${1},'.$field.','.$key, $rulesString);
    }
}

Yeah, share your opinion.
Ended with custom Validator method. Its a shame there is no built in native function for that.
Best way is to do Package to fast include it in new projects via composer but I'm too new for that.

Here's how Cartalyst solves validation in their UserRepository class, modifying the rules for different validation scenarios. Note especially the validForUpdate function, which adresses your question I believe:

public function validForCreation(array $data)
{
    $this->rules['password'] = 'required|min:6';
    return $this->validateUser($data);
}

public function validForUpdate($id, array $data)
{
    $model = $this->find($id);
    $this->rules['email'] .= ",{$model->email},email";
    return $this->validateUser($data, $id);
}

public function validForRegistration(array $data)
{
    $this->rules['password'] = 'required|min:6';
    $this->rules['password_confirm'] = 'required|same:password';
    return $this->validateUser($data);
}
