What would you say the gap is between 59 necro pet and 57 earth?

Max EoT is 1 level lower with a max hit of 61
57 Earth is 1 level higher and a max hit of 70
That's not slightly different; that's big.
Most of the dps comes from autoattack which is 13% higher for earth pet. Being one level higher it will also hit higher more consistently and miss less frequently. My experience is earth pet is a good 15-20% or more higher base dps, more for the earth pet assuming mage pet has summon haste mask and EoT does not. Biggest frustration is that resummoning EoT is 10p per try while a malachite is what ... 2 copper? With mage I always roll with max pet. At a peridot per try it's generally best to stop with 'good enough' though sometimes you luck out with a max. Earth pet is a lot more durable even though it only has 500 more hp than max EoT.
Superior mage dps comes from superior pet dps. Mage nukes are more efficient but lich regen actually lets necro actually put out more raw (or more or less even dps if mage has c2) DD dmg over time with touch of night.
For both classes the lion's share of damage dealt over time boils down to the pet; not the caster.
