Which one is better, Minion damage or Melee Physical Damage?

In combination with Raise Zombie + Multistrike + Faster attacks + Melee Splash.

Melee Physical Damage will add more:

Assuming 20/20 Gems:
Melee Physical = 10% Increased and 49% More
Minion Damage = 92% Increased

With just Multistrike and Melee Splash you're doing the following (%age of base)
Single : 171.49%
Splash : 140.87%

With Minion Damage
Single : 220.95%
Splash : 181.50%

With Melee Physical Damage
Single : 263.54%
Splash : 216.48%

This is assuming 105% from Tree, 57% increased from Multistrike and MeleeSplash, 36% Less from Multistrike, 16% less single target from Melee Splash and 31% Less in splash.

Boswer:

What level are you at where you're having this issue?

I'm definitely farther behind (limited play time + raced a shadow into A2 for the extra gems), but once I get to a similar point I'll be able to compare and see if I have the issues too.

I hadn't had any issues going Zombies + Raging Spirit in 1.0.6 Domination (Muled over Multistrike and traded for Ullr+Sidhe, but I don't see that as enough to go from 'heavy lifting' to 'watch, cast Offering, Cast some spirits to speed things up if needed'.

By mid 50s I wasn't even raising the Spirits except against bosses where I needed the extra kill speed.

You are ahead of me still, I'm lvl<10 because of how little time I've had to actually play the game lately.

Around that level my tree looked something like:

(Close enough to that at least since it was prior to the Scion wheel re-work).

Mine died to Dom's minions (had to resort to skeletons to keep the minions at a distance until my Zombies could be re-raised). Dom's first form killed a few but died fairly quickly, his second form melted to Zombies in a +1 Helm with Multistrike and Melee Splash (And yes, I'm aware that Multistrike makes a difference, but shouldn't be that huge of one)

Piety with Bone Offering did fairly well, Flesh Offering makes short work of most others because of the increased speed.

I'm guessing you took Searing Bond over the Offerings. You get a second chance at them once Brutus is dead however.

a2c now, picked up flesh offering. ...the army still drops like flies to vaal bosses, though at least they pull their weight for regular content

I heard someone say that Atziri is unkillable if you play a summoner.
Rathik, you feel like proving him wrong? :)

They nerfed burning miscreations to the ground, or is it just me?
