No, you are.
You are defending an extreme form of insult. Shame on you.

Sorry, bro. Revan dealt with Vitiate's lightning casually via lightsaber, there's no reason to conclude it would be any different for Dooku or Vader.
Lightsaber based defence can work against his concentrated bursts of Force Lightning; not the FLS.

Have Vader and Dooku ever experienced such kind of mental bombardment which can crush wills and overload senses?

Nah, bro. I'm saying Vitiate's mental attacks take time and effort (per Revan)
Sorry. Your assumption is misplaced.
"We underestimated his power. When we confronted him, he didn't even have to fight us. Instead, he broke our wills."
Vitiate broke Revan and Malak simultaneously and he did so in such a speed that both could do nothing. And both Revan and Malak were, by this time, highly experienced and celebrated warriors.
--------------------
Point is that Vitiate's mental powers are not just extremely effective but they also work quickly and this is why so many unsuspecting individuals have fallen in to his trap in history.
The second time when Revan confronted the Sith Emperor, he was fully prepared for his mental bombardment but he still had to step out of normacly in terms of using the Force to stop the Sith Emperor from mind-dominating him again.
So preventing Vitiate from mind-dominating during combat situations isn't so easy as it sounds. Heck, any unsuspecting indvidual will be broke before he/she would have the opportunity to realize what has happened to him/her.
Do not underestimate Vitiate without logical basis. You clearly underestimate every TOR era character without logical basis.

LOL! Not even Hero of Tython could manage to do this and he was immensely powerful.
And not to forget that Vitiate collapsed the entire structure after his Voice was struct down. Vitiate was far more powerful then you give him credit. However, I am not surprised by your statements.

It tazed the shit right out of him. Makes you wonder what Force lightning from Dooku might do, but then T3 is probably comparable, right? 😂
T3 took advantage when Vitiate was preoccupied with Revan. T3's attack came as a surprise and Vitiate was bombarded with fire/flames.
Through the haze of indescribable pain, he saw T3-M4 rushing in to help him. The droid let loose with his flamethrower, bathing the Emperor in fire. At the last instant the Emperor cocooned himself in the Force to save himself from being incinerated, breaking his focus on Revan.

Almost too weak to move, Revan managed to raise his head just in time to see the Emperor turn on the brave little astromech. A tremor rippled through the air as the Emperor unleashed the full power of the Force against the defenseless droid.
No sign of Sith Emperor getting tazed as you put.
Also, Dooku's Force Lightning will do jack. Sith Emperor have fought with lot of Sith in his life-time to worry about this.

As I explained to you, Vitiate's attack takes time and energy from him to initiate.
Not much.

Given that they are powerful and trained Force users, they have the means to detect the attack and respond in kind.
Many of the individuals that Vitiate have broken were powerful and trained Force-users. Your point is moot.
The kind of mental/telepathic powers Vitiate demonstrated, aren't common. This is why almost everybody falls in to his trap after his assault.
Jedi and Sith do know about mind tricks but the Vitiate took these abilities to a whole new level.

Because Sith Emperor is confronted during his vulnerable moment. Satele Shan points this out before the mission starts.

Regardless, he had a colossal home turf advantage due to the energies of Dromund Kaas and the temple itself.
Doesn't matters as he was interrupted while performing a Super-Ritual. This is how he became vulnerable.

Astromechs are several orders of magnitude beneath the likes of Vader and Dooku, who would be able to dispose of the clones with utterly laughable ease.
Key term is "taking advantage of the situation." In this kind of scenario, power becomes irrelevant.

You need to open your mind instead.
