@Squinty97:

Yes it was burning his skin, but the fire is on top his of his body. Minato was able to separate Amaterasu from his body with a space-time jutsu, why can't Tobi potentially do the same?

Tobi phased through attacks, even though he had a Naruto clone and Kakashi in his dimension. Is in character for him to do so, even when it's not smart to. In the scenario I constructed, he would only barely react to Itachi. That's giving Tobi more credit than I should, because there's no reason to assume he would be able to react to Itachi, when he thinks he's already won and he get's attacked from a blindspot.
