Another thing to consider is Open Wounds. It cannot be resisted and while you won't drop large groups quickly, you can kill anything with Open Wounds if you have a bit of patience. Since PI monsters aren't as common as they were in 1.09, I find Open Wounds works fine with my Strafers. A Malice spear or polearm (with its 100% chance of Open Wounds) on the merc is also nice - I think the Malice runeword is terrific for Act 2 and Act 5 mercs for many different characters, and is especially nice for a Strafer since your merc will be reducing the target's defense substantially with each hit.
You can get Open Wounds for your BowZon from a number of sources. A Riphook bow, Boneflesh or Toothrow armor, and Gore Riders boots all come to mind readily. Riphook makes a particularly nice switch weapon as it also has the Hit Slows Target effect.
