Dooku's telekinetic skill is beyond Wyyrlok's, but I feel Wyyrlok has enough power to hold his own in that regard and avoid being thrown around. On the other hand, Wyyrlok's mental abilities and lightning are beyond Dooku's, and I question the Count's ability to defend from those.
Dooku takes sabers, Wyyrlok Force, and all out can go either way depending on whether or not Dooku can close the gap, or if Wyyrlok can defeat him with Memory Walk and/or Lightning.

Wyyrlok's Lightning isn't really superior to Tyranus's by a margin such that he couldn't repel them with Deflection. He hasn't really shown much of a resistance to Illusions, though, but he is fairly calm and not as emotional as some other Sith.
All-out probably goes to Dooku on the account of his considerably superior skill. Wyyrlok has to play his Memory Walk to win, and I don't know if that's happening every time. Otherwise, he just loses, IMO.
Dooku can likely repel Wyyrlok initially but not indefinitely - Wyyrlok's is better than both Dooku's lightning and anything Dooku's barrier has handled.
Wyyrlok was able to hold off Krayt in sabers and pull Memory Walk off - should be enough to suggest he can do the same with Dooku, except he'd more than likely succeed in breaking Dooku's mind enough to gain the win.

Dooku is more skilled than Krayt, though, and his form/weapon will be additional edges to him - slight, but they're still there.
And why would he not Deflect Wyyrlok's Lightning indefinitely? By the way, Dooku hasn't shown Barrier.
1. Not really. Mace, Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ventress, Grievous etc. were all versed against those weapons as a result of experience.
2. Dooku's Lightning challenged Yoda and incapacitated a myriad of Jedi - there's not much difference in power level, in my opinion.
Probably, but Tyranus doesn't really use it.
1. It's a pretty minimal point - aside from either the AotC novel/Junior novel in his fight against Anakin/Kenobi, Dooku's curved hilt/Makashi has never been an outstanding factor in duels. And I believe in that source it's barely a factor as it is. Wyyrlok won't take any special issue with Dooku's fighting style.
2. Sure, lightning is a challenge for just about any Jedi to deflect if it's actually worth it's salt, because lightning is inherently difficult to repel - when Dooku's lightning was deflected at the ceiling it didn't damage the stone. Unless there's another comparison to be made Wyyrlok's should be more powerful. Dooku knocking Jedi out is incomparable to Wyyrlok killing over 6 Andeddu cultists with "an iota" of his lightning's power.
1. Really? Because sources have stated that the archaism of Makashi makes most Jedi less prepared to deal with it, and curved-hilts have been a factor in fights before, such as in Darth Bane: Rule of Two.
2. Revan absorbed a Lightning Storm pretty casually on Dromund Kaas, and Yoda's more powerful. It's pretty clear the act of actually absorbing the Lightning wasn't overwhelming, but the potency of it contributed to its difficulty in being absorbed.
That could be hyperbole, to be honest, but setting that aside, what makes the cultists so great?
