I apologize I didn't pay much attention when reading it but I didn't quite understand it.
Could someone in the PTR explain it to me?
From what I understand it seems that the 50% damage reduction is being increased? While also give you 3% mana per second? Do you still get a % of mana per attack?
So for all the questions thank you for any answers.

If so all I have to say is it was too good to be true. ><
Well, I have been using it and it has been working great for me, but one drawback: if you aren't shooting, you aren't getting mana. In essence you are taking half your damage and putting it to mana, so it's worthless if you are not shooting.
Did ZA the other day and I had already done in my potion and switched to viper, in a heartbeat or two I was back and full mana, dumped Hawk back on and Pew-Pew'd away until dead boss.

The change is a good one, imo. It minimizes downtime to practically none. Every time I get low on mana, I pop AotV and I'm back at full mana in no time.

I think you're referring to the Old New AotV, the New New AotV gives back mana over time as well doesn't it?
From what I read, the PTR AoV does the same thing Live AoV does right now, with two changes:
1). You do less damage per attack.
2). You gain 3% mana regen every 1 second. (not sure if this is while casting, or no. Probably not while casting).
What this does, is fill your mana up even faster than it did before, AND, you can refill while not even in combat, which is nice. Sometimes I'm walking towards my next mob, and I wish I could fill up. Or I'm about ready to pull an elite and I'm not full MP and I don't feel like waiting for my measly 15-ish mp5 to heal 200-some MP.
So, with AoV, 33 seconds will fill your mana from 0 to 100 without firing a single shot. I rather like that. That's very close to what a bottle of water does, really. So basically, no more drinking water, and you can shoot mobs to get it back even faster.
A very nice change.
