I think the LSII should help in your situation.  Also I don't always point the flash up in those situation...!  For example on your 2nd photo.  You may try point up, but angle it a bit to the right-rear.
Also, mix it up with higher ISO and large aperture sometimes help balance it out.

PS:  Can u share more on your setting?  Camera/ISO/Aperture/Shutter, etc..

I am not sure if I've ever mention.  On Canon system, I personally like using using Average instead of Evaluative for the flash setting, as I found it more consistent.

When using indoor and having the flash being the main light source.  FEC at +2/3 works best

When doing fill flash outdoor w/o strong back-lite.  Then I use FEC at -1 stop.

Show us some samples if you can.  However, please understand that there is a limit of what a single or even 2 flashes can do.  Then, I suppose it depends on what you have in mind for the end results.
