It was incredibly broken power. And the thing is he didn't even have to release to use his aging/rotting ability. Releasing just created the extended aura.

He was physically weak, but then it's not like Mayuri's powerhouse either. Physically, he's one of the weakest captains according to the databook and most of his other stats barely average except for intelligence. He was defeated by Ishida. Both Mayuri and Syzael rely on studying their opponent. If the enemy does something they haven't anticipated they're largely screwed.

And hell, even if it was needed ANY vice captain could have distracted Stark for a minute. Really all and all, Shunsui being able to kill Stark with nothing more than like two shikai attacks, is enough to make me think that most captains could have killed him with their Bankai's

No. The point was Rose and Love were powerful enough for Stark to use his wolf pack to defeat them. VC level wouldn't be enough for him to use it. He even says that he only used it because they were too powerful for normal attacks to do enough damage. Stark's wolves are numerous,
invulnerable and he can control them precisely. Had he used that attack on Shunsui, he would be able to pinpoint where to attack from a distance and make it difficult for Shunsui to get close enough to attack on the color needed.
But anyways, we could argue circles about whose powers would defeat whose. So, I'm pretty much done with that. It happened the way it happened. On paper at least, the Espada's abilites seem perfectly on par with the captains' (save maybe Yamamoto's). Plotkai saves the good guys though. They always step in to save/heal each other when they're about to die. The bad guys barely gave two sh**s about each other. Hell, most of the time, the only time they step in is to
finish off a member of their own team.
(Sigh) villains...
