"Taim's character also doesn't fit Be'lal's, e.g. Taim doesn't like swords.
I've always thought that was a red herring; after Be'lals remark to Rand about how "they" turned a game of swords into combat it would be pretty stupid to immediately appear a master swordsman as well as master channeler. In fact, if he used the sword much around Rand he'd HAVE to deliberately alter his style to avoid outing himself if he's Be'lal."
Wouldnt suddently introducing Taim as Be'lal after several books of giving proof he is dead be more of a red herring than Taim not wanting to use a sword in case Rand figures out he is Be'lal?

I don't think he'd have considered it at all without this aspect.

Honestly, I do think Graendal was posing as Sammael, but we can't know for sure.
