For the last time: Vaapad doesn't absorb darksiders' powers. A Vaapad practitioner merely siphons off darksiders' emotions to perform a "Light Side" Force rage.
Thats like pretty useful.
Like the kind of useful that would take someone who is already Dooku level from the start, and then jump them up to Sidious level when facing a powerful darksider.

Mm, no, I think not. It's pretty well established that Vaapad channels the inner darkness of the wielder as well, and it's not unusual for Sith to feed on their opponent's emotions either.
Did I say they can't?
I said is that Vaapad practitioners are Lightsiders absorbing their foes' darkness to achieve Force rage. As about the other part you have mentioned. Vaapad practitioners channeling their own "darkness" means when practitioners tame their own darkness as they give in their foes' Dark Side emotions.
"He showed me the anger at the core of my being—and made me acknowledge its power!"
-SORA BULQ, TO THOLME"Tell me, Sora. When did you go over to the dark side?
-MACE WINDU, TO SORA BULQ
You imply Vaapad users use their own darkness(as well), which is evidently wrong. If what you say is true: then Vaapad is no different from Juyo.
But that's why Windu was said to have invented a new form. He created a method of siphoning off your foes' darkness to achieve Force rage without succumbing to the Dark Sids. Then, you get the result when Vaapad users embrace their own darkness. The form devolves into Juyo.
