There's a difference between a focused and unfocused Amaterasu. A focus Amaterasu can burn through something in moments, while unfocused barely burns. Plus there's the Hachibi example, which is a closer example to the Kyuubi's shroud then armor.
Sasuke may get emotional at times, but as he showed against Itachi and Danzo, him being emotional doesn't prevent him from making reasonable tactics. And unless this eventual meeting dumps a bunch more questions on him, which I don't see happening this late in the game, Sasuke should come out of the meeting less confused then more.
Even though Madara broke his control, he should still be vulnerable to a control talisman. Itachi broke out control and Kabuto still appeared to believe that he could retake control. Sasuke spent a whole battle watching Kabuto attempt so and now he's walking around with another user of Edo Tensei. So he's in a position to gather a counter to Madara that wouldn't require him to actually overpower the elder Uchiha. Another possibility would be Madara ends up defeated due to his connection to the Juubi, which could allow his opponents to beat him without having to actually target him.
I fail to see why you should feel disappointed. You do seem to be ignoring Sasuke's role in this series. Even now you're comparing him to a bunch of supporting characters despite the fact that he's the deuteragonist of this series. Sasuke has always held a major role in this series, sometimes even greater then Naruto's. Heck, we already had two arcs where he took over the main character role while Naruto faded into the background. And outside of one arc, Sasuke has never been that far gone from the on-going plot. He may not be directly involved, but he's there nonetheless. And I have to say I don't think you understand what the word irrelevant means, since as mentioned, Sasuke has already been involved in the current arc and thus it's impossible to claim he's irrelevant to it.
Obito making use of Sasuke's actions doesn't change that Sasuke was the one who put them in motion, especially when said actions weren't planned by anyone. Obito didn't send Sasuke to attack Kirabi to bring the Kages together, that was a completely unintended consequence that Obito took advantage of. Nor can Sasuke even be called a pawn, no more then the Kages can, since Sasuke went to the summit for his own reasons and only got in a conflict because of a third party. Obito making Zetsu manipulate the Kages into going after Sasuke pretty much puts them in the same situation.
... I'm gonna have to ask you to actually look up the definition of "nothing", because there's no reasonable way you can make such a statement about Sasuke. At the very least, not with the aforementioned "purposely" added in. Because while he didn't do anything on purpose, he did in fact do quite a bit.
Sasuke went after Kirabi for his own reasons. Just because it suited Obito's plan too doesn't change that he did it for himself. Same with the summit, where the Kages were in the same position as Sasuke was. The fact remains that it was because of Sasuke that the Kages even gathered together at the summit in the first place, which wasn't planned by anyone. And Kabuto joining this war for Sasuke is what made this war what it is. Without Kabuto's involvement, it's questionable this war would even be a war. It was the inclusion of the Edo summons that have made the war last as long as it did, and cause the Allied Forces so much trouble. In addition, it was Kabuto who brought in the KinGin brothers, which allowed Obito to gain the Kyuubi's chakra and awaken the Juubi early without having to defeat Naruto. It was Kabuto who gave Obito the Edo Jinchuuriki, which allowed Naruto to meet with the former Jinchuuriki and Bijuus, and gain their blessing/chakra along with changing the Kyuubi's attitude towards him. And it was Kabuto who brought in Madara, who is obviously the actual threat in this war. Without Kabuto bring them in, this war would obviously not have even gotten to the current point.
And just because Sasuke isn't currently fighting in it doesn't mean that he won't eventually fight in it. Need I remind you that neither Naruto, Obito, or Madara were involved in the war til it was well underway? Until the war is actually finished, you can't reasonably claim that Sasuke won't be involved in the fighting.
This has nothing to do with it involving Naruto. It has to do with the Kyuubi's long history of protecting Naruto for it's own sake. It's done it multiple times before, and since there's no conceivable way that Naruto's death would affect Sasuke, there's no reason to believe that it's words meant more then it's own protection.
As for your other points: Minato did claim that, yet so far Naruto hasn't been capable of doing anything against Obito despite having full control of the Kyuubi's power. The toads weren't even aware that the Child of Prophecy was actually two people. Naruto had quite a bit of help defeating the Six Paths, and had to be saved against Edo Nagato. And aside from the fact that Haku wasn't gonna kill Sasuke, that doesn't change my point at all. Have you not been reading this war? Naruto has needed help several times. Against Nagato, against the Edo Jinchuuriki, against Obito, and currently against Madara and the Juubi. It's clearly been shown that Naruto would be in deep trouble on his own. So the belief that Naruto can barely help himself is completely justified.
I'm not the one with the problem here. Sasuke's revenge ties directly into the theme of hatred, shared by both his Uchiha brethren. This war is in opposition of that theme. For you to say that Sasuke can't come into the war because of it, even though the two main villains are the same, is ridiculous. Sasuke is Naruto's rival, and since Naruto is fighting for world peace, it obviously makes prefect sense that Sasuke wouldn't be fighting for that. In addition, need I point out that Kabuto didn't care at all about the actual war, yet he was able to be involved with ease.
And really, your original argument was that Sasuke couldn't get involved, not without Kishi creating a whole new storyline for him. I countered that by explaining exactly how Sasuke can get involved without Kishi needing to change anything. The fact remains that Kishi has already established a reason for Sasuke to get involved in the war, his desire to kill both Obito and Naruto. Sasuke doesn't have to care about world peace or anything to get involved.
