If anything, I'd say that a dimension-cutting sword should disqualify him, if his feats are due simply to a magic weapon.
He made his own sword into a dimension cutter. He did it by using the behelits that he took from killing other apostles. He swallowed the behelits, and then when he needed the 'sword of resonance' he stuck his sword down his throat and coated it with the behelits he had taken.

Even though he's one of my favorite anime characters of all time, I must point out that Hiei doesn't really have any real sword skills. He just combines random slashes with his inredible level of speed, to be able to hack up enemies in a really bad-ass way 😎 . At any rate, he actually fought with his fists on more occasions than he had with his sword.

Yeah, but Shigure didn't pass on all of his swordsmanship skills to Hiei. That is not to say that he was not skilled at all, but its not like Hiei trained under him for a long time (as in a few years). He only trained with him for a little while (probably a few days), and then left to go onto his own priorities. Also, when they fought, Hiei was only able to win because of his speed, and even then, Shigure was still able to land a devastating hit on him, which would have cost Hiei his life if Mokuro hadn't healed him. If he had picked up more of Shigure's skills, then he probably could have avoided being slashed, and still could have killed Shigure, with his speed advantage (although they were actually relatively close in speed, seeing as Shigure could track all of his movements).

Heie doesn't really have any good sword fears. As Enatsu said, he just uses his powers to help him use his sword. His actual dueling abilities aren't too impressive.
Well, his actual swordsmanship abilities aren't anything special at all, however, his battle abilities in general are great, IMO. He has been in some of my favorite battles in the entire sereis, and I like them mainly because of his awesome abilities, such as the Fist of the Mortal Flame, the Sword of the Darkness Flame (otherwise known as "ensatsuken" 😉 ), his Dragon of the Darkness Flame, and a few other abilities of his. He also does have some fighting skills with his fists, since he was able to go head to head with Yusuke, who has some great martial arts skills 😎 .
