"[mange] is possibly a physical eye/pupil changing ability" - raijin
This is conjecture. Are you saying it's like kimimaro's bone morphing ability? Or Haku's Demonic Ice ability? If it is - then it would make no sense that it does psychological harm (like it did to kakashi). All bloodline limits we have seen do physical harm.
Because of this key difference (psychological vs physical harm), I say mange's genjutsu - and I'm sure most people would agree. I'm going to regret saying this, but Ino's mind attack is similiar to Mange; except it's much feebler and way way way way weeker.. (don't kill me Itachi freaks!). Ino's ability is genjutsu so it would naturally follow that mange's genjutsu.
"Kakashi mentions that he can't copy Advanced Bloodline Techniques during his fight with Zabuza" - raijin
I thought Zabuza said that to Kakashi? Well, we know Kakashi likes to play down his abilities. (i.e. the need to see hand seals for techniques - he copy's Rock's gates).
So yea, just to make sure we're on the same page - this is what I'm saying.
Kakashi, being of "suitable blood" for Uchiha eyes, copied the method of using Mange Sharingan - although his ability to use this learned technique is yet to be determined.
-leading evidence for this:
1. Itachi said to Kisami his fear of having their jutsu's copied by Kakashi
2. Kakashi actually facing mange knowing the effects of it
Someone bring some counters for these points please =).
