To be fair the only reason book Rand did not crush Turak with the power is that he was (wrongly) worried that the Damane would sense it if he did.

 

I think he was going for deliberately (and visibly) slowly wearing Egwene down so that Rand would have time to despair and turn to save her.

Yeah, you're right. But the fight was just cooler in the book. The blademaster motif was just kinda satisfying but not a deal-breaker the way the episode played out

I actually loved how Rand just ganked Turak. 

Aw, it was pretty cool but I kinda miss the actual sword fight from the books. It was pretty epic
