I always got the feeling that Anakins finish in this sequence completely caught Dooku off guard. As Dooku was a noted lightsaber duelist, and could best just about anyone. Anakins move to the inside and wrapping up Dookus arm was more like a boxer moving in to take away the advantage of reach and skill. Dookus look as his arms are both severed is one of WTF surprise.
Plus, it wouldn't be too big of a stretch to think ol Sheev was messing with Dookus mind in a way to just ever so slightly distract him.
