Holy Necromancy, Batman!!
So, to weigh in here, after reviewing the (very brief) scene from RotS, what we see is as follows:
Whie is already falling, struck down by Anakin, the instant before the hologram footage begins. Anakin seemingly disarms Bene and begins choking her before Cin Drallig steps into frame. Cin and Anakin exchange three blows in scarcely a second, before the camera cuts to Obi-Wan's reaction. We never see Cin die on screen, and we only see one second of combat between the two, after one Padawan is already dead and the other disarmed.
Now, I don't have my copy of the novel handy, so it might describe things a bit differently, but as far as I can tell, there's nothing to show that Anakin killed Cin Drallig easily. And of course, the RotS game depicts it as a fairly difficult fight (for whatever that's worth). That being said, all the solid info we have on Cin is that he survived one second of dueling with KF Vader, and his many accolades.
Kas'im has an accolade attributed to him by a novice Bane who hasn't even seen Jar'Kai before. Kas'im was also shown to be inferior to Bane until he began using Jar'kai. So there's nothing really putting Kas'im all that high up on the tier list unless you consider PoD Bane to already rival some of the greatest duelists of all time (which I personally don't).
Cin has more reliable accolades, and his not-dying-in-one-second stand against Anakin doesn't help or hurt him in this match up. Kas'im's accolade is shaky at best. Cin wins.
