 * 1) There is no reason to believe he was going easy in their fight. When remarking about his first duel, he said he began to take it seriously midway (this remark is mistranslated by various translators for some reason, but he says 途中から, not 途中まで). So yes, he wasn't all that serious... during the START of their duel, but then apparently got his game on. Your personal (and biased) opinion doesn't mean it's a fact, so please refrain from using phrases like "as we know" as if your opinion is a fact.
 * 2) Using skills with two swords is a dangerous risk. I don't remember the exact numbers, but pulling off combos isn't guaranteed - you are quite likely to fail the combo and end up stunned for several seconds, leaving you entirely vulnerable. Enough to get yourself killed. Also, while it may be effective against monsters which stand still while being attacked with a Sword Skill, the same doesn't apply to players. In reality, people usually use low-combo and thus low-stun skills that don't put you dead open for a counter-attack against players. TL;DR Skill Connect is a tactic like any other - with advantages and downsides - not something that gives you a free strength pill.

I could comment on the other stuff too, but I don't want to return to this circular argument again. I'm just getting tired of people repeating inherently flawed arguments.

1. If he was using everything he had, then why did he not use two swords either of his fights with Yuuki? If you say because it's a dangerous risk, see my reply below

2. Using skill connect is dangerous, if I remember correctly, it was never shown or mentioned that using two swords without skill connect is dangerous. He has the option of just using two swords without skill connect, theoretically it would still afford him with an advantage. Or he could use sword skills without skill connect.
