Yeah, I still don't like those moves.

Like rachin pointed out, there are very very few ninja capable of countering amaterasu and its hard to miss with a technique that uses your line of sight as the targeting device as well as being instant.

Also, two amaterasu's aren't itachi's limit. The amaterasu's he used against sasuke were very wide scale and we know that the size of a nature release jutsu is directly proportional to the chakra in the jutsu. So itachi can use more than 2 amaterasu's if they are smaller in scale, which is all he'll need for this battle. Additionally, itachi also used a tsukuyomi as well as 2 susanoo's before and after using 2 amaterasu's in the sasuke fight so we know for sure that 2 isn't his limit even while weakened with disease.
