I disagree, Orochimaru indeed does have Senjutsu. We were just told that he couldn't find a proper body to handle such power. But after he gets revived by Sasuke and friends, in his original body pretty much (from his DNA and chakra) we can see him sucking his own Senjutsu chakra from Kabuto, Kabuto turning normal and Jugo clarifying that Orochimaru only sucked his own chakra and didn't hurt Kabuto. In that moment, Orochimaru's hand grows scales. In my book that pretty much confirms that on his own, Orochimaru is a Sage and can use Senjutsu, just none of his host bodies could.
