Just because Leviathans powers are more physical and not such a "light show" like in the archangels case, does not mean they are "pathetic". Leviathans are not just more physically powerful, they are more intelligent as well. Was Lucifer able to locate Sam and Dean ? - Why not just use a localization spell or ask a reaper to do it, seems he never had such an obvious idea. Leviathans managed to bypass this with complex algorithms, Archangels just rely on their power given by God, none of them could ever match up with with a Leviathan in terms of intelligence. Don Stark was a very powerful witch and certainly not a noob, - basically one of the few ways an archangel could defeat a Leviathan is to use the regular magic as well to immobilize a Leviathan.
