As to being reliant on other people's powers, the Mangekyo is basically the ultimate "other people's power" jutsu because you need to see someone close to you die to make it work, and then need another's eyes to make it a practical power.

In the end, i think they were evenly matched. How many punches you do or do not land doesn't matter. It's clear Danzo's age and lack of Izanagi experience is what cost him the match while Tobi caused him to be on his watch.

Lastly, if Tobi wasn't there, then at the end of the battle he simply would've used Sishui's power against sasuke and won instantly. That's why i said it changed the strategy; had Danzo not tried to take out "madara" he could've used the power against sasuke and judging that not even Itachi could stop it's power, it's safe to say it's close to an invincible jutsu.
