I've reread a bit of the manga and I've come to the conclusion that the Black Zetsu is VERY powerful. Naturally, I'll be giving some reasons and what not. 
My first reason is that the White Zetsu's abilities seem to be mostly supplementary skills, rather than offensive capabilities. It seems as there are two of them, it's safe to assume that since one has techniques that effect combat in an indirect way, it's safe to assume that the other's abilities will have a very direct effect on the combat.
Zetsu, so far, seems relatively weak compared to the other Akatsuki members. The only reason the white zetsu has been effective in combat thus far is because of the sheer number of them, and their overall hardiness. Compared to virtually any of the other Akatsuki members, Zetsu is definitely lacking in the combat department based upon what we've seen so far.
Zetsu was quite confident when he was about to take on the Mizukage. In my opinion, the Mizukage is a VERY lethal enemy to encounter in battle. Her mist KGs ability to control the acidity levels of the air seems EXTREMELY hard to respond to. And I'm sure the Akatsuki is quite aware of this. So why would they be willing to sacrifice such a valuable and rare Zetsu unless they were beyond doubt that he would win?
The main reason I made this thread was because, from what I've seen, people don't seem to be very concerned about the effects that Black Zetsu may have on the Joint Force's Feudal Lord Protection group.
