No matter how much he trusted McG, there are still things he'd never have told her, like all the stuff he shares with Harry about Voldemort in HBP. I'm sure Dumbledore had plenty up his sleeve that she had never even seen or heard about, Grizelda Marchbanks said she saw him do things with a wand she'd never seen before...I don't think Dumbledore would ever tip his hand completely. There's also the fact that he's so eccentric as well, you'd never be able to tell what he'd do next.
Plus, JKR said he has no equal in the WW, he's very alone in power as well as intellect. McG would suffer from the teacher effect if she had to turn on him, she'd be full of awe and no where near objective enough.
