Summoner question

Hey guys,
I really love the summoner class, but I am unsure about the new patch. How important is left clicking to attack with a relik. I love to have stuff that does the Dirty work for me.

But the summoner has so much to do and than to also left clicking is a bit too much for me.

How necessary is it and are there other classes or archetypes that fit the niche better?

Note: I am lvl 113 but this is my first class and I am still a total noob.
