venom symbiosis grants its host spiderman's powers on a augmented level
eddie brock is just a pretty strong human, but with venom symbiosis, he's more powerful than spiderman
now, Bane, in his normal state is stronger and bigger than Brock, but when he is injected with venom steroid, he reaches beyond human level strength (ie. denting the titanium batmobile with his fists, making a cheap leather belt out of killer croc)...in comparison, a steroided Bane would easily destroy Eddie Brock without any trouble
now, this roid-rage Bane with venom symbiosis would be a scary monster, he'll be bigger in size than venom (who's no midget) and many folds stronger, as the symbiote will probably amplify the effects of the venom steroid. I think Venom Bane will be easily in the 50 - 60 ton level.
Beyond strength, a roid rage Bane was a pretty durable dude, now with symbiote protection, Venom Bane would be many times more durable than Venom, perhaps the venom steroid will interact with the symbiote in a way that renders it immune to normal sonic and heat attacks
Also, Bane is a great tactician, a fact often masked by his superior physique. He displayed strategy and patience in his knightfall episode where he cunningly weakened the batman before finishing him off. Now, Bane would probably discover the true extent of the symbiote beyond Brock's naive concepts and achieve Carnage levels of manipulating the symbiote as extensions of weapons. Bane will observe his enemies and note their weaknesses and would never fail to exploit those very weaknesses to his advantage, he would be more ruthless than Carnage but much more rational and intelligent. In short, Venom Bane would be the last guy to have on your enemy list.
having said that, I believe Venom Bane will make it up to Juggernaut without too much trouble
