-Note: Bane never moved a moon. The best feat he's got is the Temple, and Luke far eclipses that on his worst days.

1. Orbalisks protect against lightsabers and maybe weak Force lightning.
There's no "maybe" about it. Bane was hit with a million volts of current from five force pikes. The orbalisks absorbed most of it, but enough got through to stun him for a few seconds.
The assassins he was fighting were astonished that anything smaller than a bantha (i.e. elephant-sized) could withstand a direct hit from a single maximum power force pike, let alone five.

I'm going to ignore the 'theyz mites be teh zame pwr lvl @9000!!111" aspect of your post and focus in on what isn't pure fanboyism. Bane has a 'unique fighting style,' you claim. That may be true. What we know is that Luke has no fighting style.
Yes he does. He has a unique style all his own that has evolved and improved over the years.
Luke is in fact an incredible swordsman, Caedus even considered that Luke could possibly be the greatest duellist there ever was. To say Luke is unskilled is doing him a great disservice.

He does not use a classical form, never having had the chance to learn one. The best he could be classified as is a [b]severely altered Djem So. (Mimicked from Vader.)[/B]
Luke has had ample chance to learn. There's Kenobi's book (the one that showed him how to build a lightsabre). There's his contact with the Jensaarai who were founded by members of the old Order, the stuff he recovered from the Chu'unthor etc.
As I said, Luke's fighting stye is something entirely his. One that blends classical techniques with what he devised himself.

The last time Bane was confronted with a fighting style he didn't know he was put on his ass in seconds.
He was losing, sure, but he still managed to maneuvre the fight outside. He deserves credit for that.

How Bane and his Orbalisks would stand up to Emerald Lightning...
Probably not very well. Even if it didn't kill him he'd be stunned long enough for Luke to behead him.
What would be cool would be to see a literal Blitzkrieg with Bane pitting his purple Sith Lightning vs Luke's green Emerald Lightning.

It's good for Bane that he's got his lightsaber and Force shield for that then. Realistically speaking, you'd have to be far more powerful than your opponent to be able to break through their defences with a tangible attack like lightning, as you'd have to break through their Force defences, the protection afforded by their lightsaber, and in Bane's case, the limited protection the orbalisks still provide (as it's noted that the orbalisks were still capable or resisting hundreds of thousands of volts of electricity). Luke is never shown to have been very masterful or controlled with the technique, and he's not significantly more powerful that he'd be able to break through all of Bane's defences.
This covers it pretty adequately.
