Final thoughts on that...

I guess we're just going to have to disagree on that one. Your character was taken by surprise when he just revived himself and was ready to go for round 2. This is sort of why I don't really like trying to infer too much from fight mechanics, let alone in a solo instance, about character capabilities, and also because they're in the habit of under-tuning content which players go through for the MSQ. I can only hope that if we do encounter him again in a fight, they will be able to flesh it out a bit more. Same goes for Solus.
In any case, at this stage I am just glad they did not prematurely kill him - or Varis - off.

I'm not saying he's holding back. I am saying we probably did not see the full set of his abilities at this stage. You're also conveniently ignoring that he just got right back up, perhaps with the very intention of startling you. Yet the fight was cut short by an opportunity to strike you down, but you were whisked away at that point, with him then leaving to deal with Varis's departure.
