He reacted to Itachi's Mangekyo.

Sasuke was probably blinded by the intense lightning in front of him. Kabuto already proved bright lights can blind Sharingans.

The giant dragon of lightning summoned from the storm clouds wasn't a big enough tip?

I didn't see Kakashi react to Tsukuyomi. As for Kakashi reacted to seeing Itachi open his eyes, that doesn't matter. Itachi doesn't have to close his eyes to activate Mangekyou.

If Sasuke was blinded by the intense lights in front him, than Itachi who's looking directly at Kirin, would have been blinded to a much larger degree than Sasuke.

The only time we see the dragon on panel, is before Sasuke said "begone with the thunderclap." It can't be used as an indicator of when, Sasuke was going to bring it down.
