Standing still for a minute to gather Senjutsu makes no sense in this context. He mastered Sage Mode but never built his tactics around it like Naruto, or Jiraiya did.

As to Kakashi: the Chidori and Raikiri, instant-kill jutsu are already a mighty impressive jutsu for a kid like him to have.

As to how strong he was without Sharingan: considering how long he had it and how he had built his entire strategy around it, i think it's natural that he has had a hard time adjusting to a sharingan-less life. Kind of how Naruto would need quite a bit of work to live without Kurama.
