Lets assume that Neji was underestimating Naruto and thats why he lost. No need to assume that. Neji was being extremely cocky to Naruto and repeatedly didn't finish a fight he'd won, only because he was pitying a persistent Naruto. There would be no such mercy against Sasuke.

The point of Rotation is that it doesn't really block but deflects attack. Chidori may get through Gaara's sand, but it's far more likely to deflect off Rotation. Plus Gentle Fist means that Sasuke can't afford to get hit even once.
