If you just replaced the plugs 5000 km ago, then it is unlikely to be spark plug related (Honda's maintenance schedule recommends changing the copper spark plugs in our cars every 48 000 km).

Even though motor mounts generally last a very long time, it might not be a bad idea to check them, especially since one already went out when your car had roughly 100 000 km. Have you looked at other parts of the ignition system, along with sensor inputs to your ECU? I have seen a faulty MAP sensor cause a rough idle (intermittent). Good luck to you.
