It just seems ridiculous...
My guesses:

1: He has Kabuto at his side, who also knew Tsunade's weaknesses.
2: Jiraiya was unable to control his chakra too well, because of Tsunades potion that she slipped into his drink.
3: Orochimaru and Kabuto were able to summon 2 large snakes, while Jiraiya could only summon Gamakichi and Tsunade was already affected by her fear of blood.
4: Orochimaru is able to use Taijutsu (which require no seals) at a higher level because of his snake-like being that allows him to stretch his bodyparts.
5: Orochimaru is amazing, and can get around many obstacles. You remember what he said at his departure, rght? "This is immortality. This is the real me. I am immortal". Who knows?
6: I guess you can concider Orochimaru a Shaman... Damage does not quite have the same effects on him as it does everyone else.
