Sakura and chiyo survived that long only because they had cure ready(at least to some extent). Deidara Lost to Sasuke only because sasuke possessed Lightning Style. I don't remember Itachi Possessing that so perhaps Itachi might have to work harder than Sasuke. 1)Sasori's poison was only that effective because they were fighting in a cave AND he was fighting against an experienced and pretty skilled albeit old woman and Sakura whose only grand feat at this point was that she could punch pretty hard. That also begs the question - will Sasori's poison disperse that fast underwater? There's no evidence that his puppets will factor in when Kisame creates a Water Dome. And is Sasori's poison released by converting chakra? 'Cause if so, then I guess Samehada could suck it in.

2)Work harder? Not really. With his speed, Itachi could easily use Amaterasu on Deidara before he has the chance to react. Also, since Deidara's C4 has only been shown to disintegrate organic beings, then his Susanoo would likely be a good counter against it. Yes, Deidara had an elemental disadvantage against Sasuke, but this was Sharingan Sasuke we're talking about not to mention how he was helped by Tobi at one instance in their fight. I'd wager his C0 could be troublesome without Itachi's Tsukuyomi, but since the OP said he's not allowed to use it, then Itachi wins this by a landslide. don't forget that not only did chiyo and sakura have the cure chiyo said sasori was holding back.

deidara is faster than amaterasu and even with sasuke's stamina itachi will tire before deidara does. so if deidara can stay away from amaterasu and and make itachi use susanoo alot deidara wins
