so if this is the case, what would a minst use as RA to max his DPS since in melee is not performing and his pet is not a dps?
Minst does not do a ton of melee damage. Best slash weapon is the granite sword with s/c debuff. Essentially, you try to stay out of melee, kite 800 range, and just DD as that's what does the most damage.
As far as RA's, the single stat RA's are basically worthless for damage. It's best to stack MoP or WP for crit damage.
For solo/small man minst i would go the following, in this order:
Lw1, tire1, purge 2/3, sos 2, ip3/4, am 2 if grp'ing. Then passives: tough 2-5, con 2, arcane 2, wp 2, mop 2, mof2. Best RA efficiency bang for buck return. After solo'ing a lot on an IP class, i would strongly recommend ip4, tough 5, con 2. Plus highlander with 10con at creation and you're a tank. Half if not most of your fights are going to be vs assassins where you are forced into melee (when sos is down). Living for that much longer and getting more DDs/Swings off is more dmg output than dmg RAs doing ~5% more.
