Itachi's Susanoo doesn't have the lower limbs, meaning it's not mobile enough and since the swamp jutsu literally creates a swamp, it would be nearly impossible for Itachi to avoid. Leaving Susanoo and re-entering it would waste a lot of chakra and stamina, he would probably only do this once if he had to. Placing the Yata mirror above him would leave him wide open for Jiraiya's ultra big ball rasengan. Jiraiya can perform jutsu while his hands are clasped, he was able to maintain a barrier ninjutsu while doing so. Itachi won't be able to use his regular genjutsu on multiple toads, as according to Chiyo, the others will attack while he is preoccupied by the genjutsu.

I also don't think that Itachi would waste Amaterasu on the toads, since he only has a few shots. There is no guarantee that Totsuka blade will even hit, no real speed feats.
