Sasuke couldn't even keep Susanoo activated.. or react to Kabuto. THIS ITACHI is a weak shell of the real Itachi, as all Edo Tensei are... I think you should understand what I am saying here. Edo-Itachi definetely can't be called "a weak shell". Again, I must repeat that Kabuto's Edo Tensei revives shinobi very close to their living selves, so Itachi surely didn't lost a lot of his original power. Moreover, given that in Edo form Itachi could easily spam his MS techniques due to no side effects and infinitely refilling chakra reserves (his constant use of Susanoo, which he rarely bothered to use alive, already proves this), it can be even argued which Itachi is stronger - his living form or his Edo form.

Also, his reaction against the While Rage Technique was merely deductive - Itachi assumed that Kabuto is going to strike Sasuke firstly while the latter couldn't. OK, Itachi can be more intelligent than Sasuke (BZ even said this once), but not a way faster as you describe.
