Is Gore-Tex really that much better than Virtika's 25k waterproofing? Looking to buy a new jacket and trying to decide what to get.

It comes down to price pretty much. Goretex is the standard for waterproofing and has been since the 60s or 70s when it was invented. Virtika is not and that shows in the prices

Does anyone have a review of the 3L Vir-Tek Shell Jacket?

I can't find a single review on the entire internet

Just look at what people wear in the backcountry, that's where gear gets put to the test for real, and pretty well nobody wears virtika in the backcountry.
