If I'm not mistaken, Yata Mirror appears that it can only block attacks from one direction. From the magnitude of power the Rasenshuriken exhibited against Kurama (push force, as well as cutting power), and the Massive Rasengan (the thing cut through massive thick solid landmass and still contained enough force to propel Kimo into the stratosphere) used against Kimoshiki without Senjutsu enhancement, Itachi's Susanno will not be able to survive or tank such an attack.

Landing genjutsu and explosive clone techniques on an expert sensor that is as fast or faster than Itachi himself would be extremely difficult, but not impossible. Given the chances, Itachi would most likely abandon it as a main strategy.
