It's a type of complimentary jutsu that works best or only with Sage Mode, in comparrision to Sasuke using Chidori with Sharingan. Rasenshuriken is actually an excellent example of SM's multiplicative power. Without it, it was something Naruto could only use a few times before losing his arm permanently. But with SM it's part of his standard moveset. Not only that, but he could also use it more often.

Naruto's natural power makes the SM upgrade massive, whereas something like Curse Mark (a form of Senjutsu) didn't really impact Sasuke on an equivalent level, because Sasuke's base power wasn't comparable (His power was thanks to things like skill and Sharingan insight, not raw power). Naruto's problem has never been power but rather the ability to deliver it. Rasenshuriken fixes Naruto's problem with delivering it (Incredibly fast, incredibly powerful ranged jutsu), while Sage Mode makes it safer and more reliable, while making his use of taijutsu better.

Sasuke was quite strong, something that MS and EMS reinforced but didn't really amplify as much. Sasuke's weakness is raw power.
