Emma not doing any significant harm to anyone she attacked can't be used as a way to discredit her powers; it might have not even been her intention at all. The only time Emma ever intentionally killed a human being was Cruella, and although she could've used complex magic to do it, she simply chose to push her down the conveniently placed cliff. Feats aren't very good indicatives of her power, because her low skill levels keep her from manifesting her powers to the fullest.

Regina is overpowered by Rumpel simply becaue he is a DO, by Zelena in 3x16, and Regina was never able to beat Pan... She only conventionally didn't regret her actions. She was defeated by Ingrid in 4x05 when Ingrid immobilized her like it was no big deal (True, she did the same thing to Emma, but Emma is far less skilled with magic, AND Emma has been taken by surprise, whilst Regina was ready to attack). All major villains rank above her except for Cora, whom Regina was able to overpower.
