yoda and Luke both have abilities that vitiate may not know of as well, especially considering that vitiate came LONG before luke and yoda did.
Actually this kind of reasoning doesn't works. People in future eras are not necessarily more well-versed in the ways of the Force in comparison to their predecessors. Reason is that not every bit of knowledge gets recorded and ancient records have ended up destroyed numerous times in history. To give you an idea, the event of Sacking of Coruscant led to loss of ancient records accumulated in a period of Millenium (10 decades). Their are more examples of significant losses. Jedi Master Gnost Dural (who is among the greatest Jedi historians) admitted that not much is known about the mysterious Sith Emperor due to his immensely secretive nature. I am not saying that he would be a complete unknown since HoT have history with him but even his knowledge would be realistically limited. Of-course, their is always a possibility of an individual discovering new things but I have yet to see examples of Yoda and Luke creating new Force powers. In the world of Star Wars, much of the knowledge about ways of the Force comes from ancient sources.

Yoda's actually alot like vitiate in the sense that he's been around for a long time to learn as much as possible about the lightside, and he also studied how to defend againts every darkside technique (or almost every).
Actually Yoda isn't alike Vitiate at all. Yoda would have shared his knowledge with fellow Jedi but Vitiate was exactly the opposite. Vitiate actually earned "secretive" title because of his nature. He didn't train generations of Sith but rather focused on studying the dark side in his own ways. Much of his activities were not well-known even within his Empire. Some attempted to learn about his history but information obtained about him have never been complete; Sith Emperor have attempted to minimize access to channels that may offer clues about his history and knowledge of the dark side.
Also, is their concrete evidence of Yoda knowing how to defend against every dark side application? This seems to be an absurd claim.

Luke has greater raw power than vitiate, being the son of the chosen one himself (who woulda become most powerful force user in history),
Actually EU tends to drift away from this G-canon assumption because even prime Luke is no where even close to matching the power of most powerful Force-users in the mythos.
Vitiate can fuel his raw power by siphoning energies from countless beings so he have innate advantage over any mortal in this respect.

and also has abilities vitiate may not be familiar with, like shatterpoint (which would be further amplified by vitiate's tactical ineptitude in many situations),
Satele shan had shatterpoint ability; HoT also possibly had this ability since he have feats indicating this. In-fact individuals in the Empire may also have this ability. Issue is that their is so much content in SWTOR that Bioware author often overlook minute details of their own creations and therefore audience is often left with questions.

perfect illusions,
Vitiate himself have this capability.

electric judgement that insta-killed vong slayers (note: vitiate has never seen any jedi use such ability),
Vitiate have encountered many Jedi during his span of existence but majority of these Jedi ended up dead. It is unclear what all of these Jedi were capable off at the moment. However, such mammoth history leaves room for lot of creative liberties.

Can you provide evidence of this?

I don't recall him using bare hands. However, Galen have matching feat. In-fact, I won't be surprised that some individuals serving Vitiate may replicate matching feat without much effort.

Plus Luke has enormous speed advantage, and vitiate hasn't (canonically as of yet) fought an opponent as fast as Luke.
HoT is immensely fast and capable duelist. In-fact, many amazingly capable warriors have served Vitiate.

BTW, when I said Dooku>Revan due to accolades, I meant in sabers 😉
Ok!
Comparison with Revan in this aspect is difficult; Revan does have feats of killing two large Terentateks simultaneously, handling firepower of several Mandalorians from close distance and outdueling an Imperial Guard individual with relative ease. Revan have exceptional mastery of the Force on his side which makes him very effective duelist as well.
