If you gave controls, then you gave controls .. everything from that moment is handled accordingly
Personally I would have carried out the items as PM, then when things settled again, checklist complete etc, take back controls for the remaining descent and landing. I am not a TRE and don't fly the A320, but I would say this is appropriate cockpit discipline for any multi pilot aircraft. You can't be changing controls during such crucial moments*. It gets very messy. You gave controls, end of.
As for the argument that you were "clearer about which direction the plane was taking" .. I am not so sure. Your colleague was PM, he was monitoring the flight .. how do we not know maybe his understanding was even better than yours? But all this is irrelevant
You gave controls, that's the end of it, you are now PM and you should act accordingly, especially during such a sudden event.
*Unless your colleague ends up doing a very bad job and you must take back control
