I've never read the book either so I can't be much help there. It just seems to me that Anakin's performance couldn't have been that great considering the lesser of the two current Sith Lords rocked his shit.
Why? The ability to counteract something has no effect on how much damage a wall can take. Just because you use an armor piercing shell instead of a normal one doesn't mean the wall has changed at all.
I'm just saying that his performance against Tusken Raiders is not an accurate way of gauging how effective he was in fighting Dooku. The Tuskens are not Jedi, and even if he was going berserk, that does not necessarily mean he was fighting better or fulfilling any of his innate potential. A village of Tusken Raiders should be a cake walk for most Jedi, I would think.
Yoda most likely, but he's practically on the same level as Anakin is in terms of raw power. Dooku is up in the air, unless of course someone has info on that? *looks around at those who have read the books.*
According to the Databank the EU description of Dooku:
Databank wrote:Dooku had studied the ways of the Force for almost eight decades, becoming one of its most powerful practitioners, though his ultimate loyalty was not to the structured protocols of the Jedi order, but rather to his own intuitions and ideals.
