Never really saw it as a stomp, a stomp implies that there wasn't a chance to kill Vitiate, if it was a stomp, then there wouldn't have been outcomes where he was defeated. It just so happens, that they didn't defeat him.
Imo he would've stood little chance by himself but he wouldn't have been ragdolled either. Basically, he wouldn't have been dominated but the fight wouldn't be competitive either.

No, if it was a stomp, Vitiate would of defeated Revan with the TP.
And not had his ass flung twice, resorting to using most of his force reserves to put Revan down, and didn't have enough strength to preform another charged force lightning on a weakened Revan, as he had to find a weakness to exploit revans defences, in the end.

You mean two other fodder posed a threat to him at this point? That's a clear indication, he used a fair bit of his power. afterall he literally stops scourges lightsaber strike, casually mid strike.
Anyway his charged lightning is capable of attacking multiply opponents, as shown, against strike team in tor.
He apparently is incapable of multi-tasking or possessing basic situational awareness as evidenced by his response to Meetra's saber throw. Per the the text Vitiate he was assessing the threat Scourge and Meetra posed and struck due to the opening created by Scourge. Not that he had been waiting for one.
That may not be the case as of the Revan novel since the scene you're referencing takes place hundreds of years later.

The notion, Vitiate doesn't have precognition is ludicrous or maybe it's the fact, Revan is too much of a threat. Which reinforces the idea, that Vitiate wasn't so far above Revan as you believe. Anyway terrible writing is terrible.
His dealing of the last council during the novel sort of indicates he can.
Considering it was described as a flash, and the council members didn't make it off the steps.
Doubtful that he was being cocky, considering the first time in life, he was in so much rage, that he put his full power into destroying a droid, and ended up creating voices, and had his TP no sold, and flung back twice. No Vitiate wouldn't of felt cocky till he had won.
What else creates a flash, and bypassess 9 dark council members passive/greater force barriers. In literally all cases of Vitiate attacking, he had used either TP/TK or force lightning.
Vitiate, had never used TP to kill Dark council level members.
They wouldn't still be on the steps if he used TK.
Which leaves some form of force lightning.
Process of elimination, can only go by what he has shown.
