@Combat I'd have to look more closely at the fight to counter the first point. Can't read it at work though, so I'll probs get back to it later.

As for your second point, Kakashi knew that their purpose for being there was to gather intel on where Naruto was. Why would Pain use more manpower than necessary to take out Kakashi if he needed to gather intel? Kakashi was obviously not going to tell Pain where Naruto was, and he was going to be a big hindrance to anyone who engaged him. For all Kakashi knew, Pain was gonna keep his other bodies out getting info to get intel from a less capable ninja than himself. If kakashi was tied up with two Pains, he couldn't stop the others from getting the intel they needed from anyone else.

Directly after Shinra Tensei? The only reason the restraining tactic worked was because it used the fact Deva's ability against him; Deva pushed the Akimichi's away, thereby tightening the chain in the same motion. That one motion gave Kakashi barely enough time to rush in with his Chidori. Kakashi's dogs aren't faster than that tactic.
