Revan and Nyriss both said that Scourge possessed enormous Force potential. In his Prime he'd be an extremely powerful Force User. Given his style though, I imagine he's mainly a defensive Force wielder who supplements his lightsaber skills with effective force use. Given that he's run roughshod over the Dark Council for 300 years killing the most ambitious Sith and the most powerful Jedi, it's obvious he'd need to be capable of handling high level Force use.
In Sabers the dude has 300 years of combat experience and training and has killed over 1100 Jedi and Sith personally. Given that he was already a master of 3 lightsaber forms by the time he was middle aged or younger, I surmise that he's likely mastered the full set by Swtor and obviously is intimately familiar with pretty much every aspect of lightsaber combat. I doubt there's much he hasn't seen. He's a lightsaber prodigy with 300 years to perfect his skills in, whose job is literally to duel and murder the most powerful Jedi and Sith and has amble additional reason to want to be as good as possible for when he betrays Vitiate. I imagine he'd be a pretty much a top tier lightsaber duelist in terms of his skill.
Still below Act 2 HoT though. 😉

I'd say he is equal to Act 2 HoT tho
Lightsaber skill and combat - prime Darth Maul level, maybe a small notch above.
Force only though he can compete with Quinlan Vos (Legends) at best.
All out? Well, impossible to tell, he isn't as good with the Force as with sabers, but Force won't be a huge factor in most encounters. He can be beaten by guys like Xesh, who hold the power and mastery to overpower him with the Force, but can defeat somebody like Kit Fisto, who shits on Xesh as a combatant... etc.
Scourge is (literally) a tank. I imagine it'd be pretty hard to beat him up with force powers through his force defenses, personal energy shield and heavy armor. You'd need a lot of damage in excess of Scourges level of power to actually affect him and stop him from reaming you in sabers.
Oh and also he gets stronger from his opponents hate, way more than usual for a Sith.
In the Revan novel he was fair; prodigiously powerful, but still an amateur compared to the Dark Councillors.
In SWTOR he was certainly stronger, but more of a disappointment than anything. Given how great his potential was made out to be, plus 300 years of experience, plus enhancements from the Emperor himself, you'd think he'd be pretty beastly. But he really wasn't, there are a number of other Sith better than him around in his day.
He is really powerful. But he doesn't have much exposure unfortunately.
I expect him to be superior then Count Dooku during his prime. He have considerable experience and talents that grant him advantage in combat situations such as Consume Essence and Shatterpoint.
He also have decent Telekinetic abilities; he sent Hero of Tython and his companion packing across the hall without even a gesture. He also killed scores of guards without a gesture.
He is also a TANK; heavily protected and virtually immortal. He can take lot more abuse then he is given credit for.
