Even if he transpanted sasuke's eyes.....he'd still have to switch bodies. What will he do then?
Thats true, but February is talking about why Orochimaru chose to wait 2 years for Sasuke's body instead of just transplanting the eyes and the immediate threat of dying wasnt a problem back then.

But the thing is, i think it is turned off when he puts his eye under the patch. Otherwise, having the Sharingan turned on 24/7 would probably be quite strenuous on mind and body. I mean, the Uchihas themselves only activate it when they need to. But i could be wrong about this one. Just because Kakashi' eye is covered with a patch most of the time doesnt necessarily mean he cant turn the Sharingan off.
