The Sharingan, as its own distinctive Dōjutsu suffered from attenuation, resulting in its current form. You can discern the link, and why there are propositions set forth, the body or the eyes (note that for this particular theory, the powers are deliberately not used in conjunction).
Right, so you're just trying to find this link then? Well I have one more thought about this that may help you. You said that the body of the Juubi represents the earth. Well this is something I began pondering upon for a while, and i've realized that all bodies, Juubi or not, are symbolic of the earth.
As was stated by Iruka in the first part of the series during chuunin exams, the body represents earth and the mind represents heaven. The connection here is that the body represents yang because of vitality and physical energy, and the mind yin because of the imagination and spiritual energy. This is all from Obito's explanation of the Sage's two sons where the younger son is born with the body of the Sage and the Elder the eyes.
One way to prove this is the Sharingan uses genjutsu, which is under the broad Yin release. While Uzumaki/Senju have amazing vitality and physical energy.
Interesting enough, the Susano'o seems to be made up of spiritual energy only as well. According to Obito, Yin release can be used to create form out of nothing, and the Susano'o seems to manifest the evil nature of the user. In fact, since the hatred of the Elder son has been passed down from generation to generation, it seems that this could be why something as cold and evil as the Susano'o can appear through the use of spiritual energy.
Maybe this is something you can ponder upon and expand your knowledge of chakra.
