An increase in potency/rDPS should do the work.

Also, Summoner is still way ahead than it should be.
The worst option for melee utility ? Sorry what ? Litany makes godly openers, even moreso that crit power creep will start again with this tier (with it being best op stat in the final one).

Good DPS also comes from peaking really high in openers and then smoothing and lengthening the drop the most you can. Starting slow is manageable but it doesn't do wonders in the end, and DRG helps a lot avoiding that.

As for personal dmg : this is a tier where melee finally have to struggle for uptime in 5.x so ofc it will feel lackluster to you, especially for the reason Forte explained on NIN desengaging mitigation
