Mangekyō Sharingan Patterns. Are They Jutsu Specific or Unique to Each User?

Since the release of the latest chapter (599) I've been stumped as to how Tobi can have the same pattern as Kakashi without the eye originally belonging to Obito. (Note: I don't believe Tobi is Obito or that he has Obitos' Sharingan. Although the latter may be possible, I still think Tobi was bsing Kakashi to throw him off.) As well as tie in with my theory of Tobi being TES. Anyway, it's just a thought that I wanted to share so bear with me please.

To start, here are the MS users with their known dominant jutsu and it's classification under Genjutsu or Ninjutsu... 

Itachi - Tsukiyomi - Genjutsu 
Sasuke - Amaterasu - Ninjutsu
Kakashi - Kamui - Ninjutsu
Tobi - Kamui - Ninjutsu
Shisui - Kotoamatsukami - Genjutsu (Note: It's safe to assume Kotoamatsukami is Shisuis' dominant MS jutsu.)

You may view their patterns here.

What I propose is that each MS design is unique to a particular MS jutsu and each dominant MS jutsu the user receives depends on their fighting style as their Sharingans mature before awakening it. (Using Genjutsu over Ninjutsu would result in a MS level Genjutsu being dominant and vice versa.)

Like Itachi for example, Tsukiyomi, a Genjutsu, was his dominant and Amaterasu, a Ninjutsu, was his secondary. Itachi was apparently more proficient with Genjutsu over Ninjutsu. 

With Sasuke...Amaterasu, a Ninjutsu, as his dominant jutsu. His Genjutsu skills isn't up to MS standards or level as of yet.
I don't think Amaterasu would have been his "dominant jutsu" or an ability for him to use if not for Itachi planting it on him.* (chp 397 pgs 8-9, 11) The activation of Amaterasu and the appearance of Itachi's MS may have altered what would have been his dominant (Ninjutsu) tech and possibly the pattern. It'd be nice if he actually awakens a secondary like the jutsu Madara was shown using in this video.

*Neither Sasuke (Tsukuyomi) or Itachi (Amaterasu) has mastered both of their MS jutsu, yet they both can use Susano'o.

Now Kakashi and Tobi... 
Kakashi is (of course) proficient in Ninjutsu over Genjutsu, yet I think his ability to use Kamui is more related to him being a non Uchiha. Which would also mean that Obito would have had a different MS pattern and jutsu.

Tobi... For those who don't know (looks under avatar) I believe Tobi is The Elder Son. I also think the issues with continued use of MS jutsus leading to blindness is a result of The Younger Son sealing or limiting some of the Mangekyō Sharingan powers The Elder Son could utilize and his descendants (Uchiha) as well. That action (which could also be considered a "curse") would limit the actual powers a Uchiha could (potentially) have (or gain), set conditions to obtain MS and consequences for continued use of the MS as well as the use of a restricted jutsu. 

The tricky part with this (for me) is the differing MS patterns of The Elder Son and the one Tobi and Kakashi has shown. Only because I associate both with Kamui. The whirlpool effect of Tobis' Kamui resembles that of The Elder Sons' MS pattern and leads me to think they are related in some way. 
Now the only thing that seems to fit is that the MS pattern of TES may represent his mastery or ability to use all MS jutsu. Then the MS pattern Kakashi and Tobi share would represent Kamui.

Tobi having a non Uchiha body (one consisting of Senju DNA) could circumvent certain restrictions placed on the Sharingan. Tobi being the Elder Son would also allow him to utilize at least one of his own MS abilities (Kamui) from any Sharingan. (Tobis' use of Kamui with a basic Sharingan leads me to think that)


Bottom line...

Tobi (TES) is able to use Kamui because his current body consists of Senju DNA and being the ancestor of the Uchiha would further allow him to use it without activating MS.

Tobi and Kakashi sharing the same MS pattern would be due to that pattern being unique to Kamui.

...

Once your done scratching your head post your thoughts of any concerns and questions.
