Lastly itachi was faster than sasuke during that fight the only reason he got caught in those shuriken + chidori combo attacks was because he was almost blind. Now it's prime itachi(no blindness), what chance sasuke would have?

Well, I wouldn't say orochimaru's chakra and healing abilities are more powerful or useful than susanoo is in this fight. I also believe itachi wasn't able to dodge sasuke's shadow shuriken because his disease restricted his movements as hinted by zetsu. I don't think it was blindness because itachi actually looked back and saw it coming before it hit. So considering that, I guess itachi was noticeably faster than sasuke.

Back to the fight, I don't see how itachi can end this fight early because it'll be hard to destroy sasuke's susanoo and sasuke isn't just going to stand around and take hits, he's  a master tactian as well. Just look at his battle with deidara and danzo for example. By the time itachi finds a way to take out sasuke, he would be almost depleted from the use of his mangekyo. Itachi wins but its not gonna be easy.
