It's pretty clear that he still had some sense of control over the battle, and as Taurus mentioned (and he was absolutely correct, btw), Kas'im still never managed to land a hit against Bane.

Bane did not ever control the flow of battle when Kas'im switched to his dual sabers, and nor was Bane able to land a hit. I'll provide evidence in a few minutes.

how can you claim it with absolute certainty? It wasn't unheard of for Jedi of the time to wield double bladed lightsabers; an entire class of Jedi wielded them: the Jedi Brutes, as shown in the RotS Video game (argue about the game's canonicity all you want, the comic Purge fully backs it up on the matter, as does Leland Chee).

I did not ever think 'Jedi Brutes' were canon... My god, how much has GL screwed SW up? But yes, I cannot argue against canon. Although, it's not plain generalization; you never see a single Jedi Knight wielding a double-bladed lightsaber in ANY movie, these characters only appear in very few comics, which means only very few did wield one. Then again, what would make you think Qui-Gon ever sparred against one of those few Jedi wielding a double-blade? There is absolutely nothing indicating such and the characters who we know wield a double-blade are not quite related to him. Therefore, it is highly unlikely, which is what I am trying to point out.

Kas'im had mastered all seven forms of the lightsaber for his style of weapon, and spent even more time perfecting them. It was stated that he had millions of different moves and combinations at his command, and that every single one was completely unfamiliar to Bane.

I know it is stated that Kas'im had millions of combat combinations at his command, but when was it stated that 'every single one was unfamiliar to Bane'?

Wow, hasty generalisation, much? As explained above, you're wrong.
While what you're saying is likely correct,

Welcome to KMC, by the way. 馃檪

I'm sorry, I have to go, but I'll be back to provide the evidence.

About the double-blade.. Kas'im says it doesn't provide an advantage, the other way around. You only need to follow the other end to know where to other one is, so it's not really that much different from normal lightsaber combat, whereas two lightsabers vs one is a completely different situation.

I would like to know where it has been confirmed that Sidious's chosen form is Ataru.
