Two vaapad practitioners wouldn't have much teamwork, but, why do we assume that they lose? Bane has the intimidation factor, and was obviously powerful and had a good understanding of the dark side, but he really hasn't shown us any actual power. It's an unknown for now. To me, at least.

Yes, but until that book comes out, those are all just assumptions. He was powerful, that is clear, but we can't properly gauge him against these two, because we don't know of his dueling skills, saber style, force powers, does he go offensive or defensive in a fight? We've never seen him fight in a battle, and, I'm not going to assume anything just yet.
Uh, Bane was feared like mad by the Sith Lord of his time (Kaan). Take into consideration that this is probably the time when the Jedi and the *human* Sith are at their peak of all time.
THE Sith Lord? Kaan was nothing more than a cruel coward who got into power by luck of predecessor's deaths...he was so scared of the other Sith lords, he abdicated as single DLotS, had Bane poisoned-and that was mainly because of Bane's exceptionally fanatic DS ideals...moreover, Bane and Zannah were out of range of the thought bomb.
Kaan was scared of bane because Bane and Kaan long detested one another and Bane didn't have time for hierarchies and the like...Bane believed he was the destined hero of the Sith and didn't care about titles or anything...his fanaticism alone made him extremely dangerous
Has the author stated that novel will focus more on Bane's political achievements (with the Sith order of course) or more on his combat achievements? From what we know now, he was a feared dark lord, but again whether this was COMPLETELY due to combat abilities is unkonwn.
