Chimera (main part) is magic damage and is not affected by ArP. If it's not going through hand of protection, that must be a bug.

It doesn't work like that at the moment. The newest tick will just overwrite the old one. We don't know if it'll be changed in the future since blizzard did not reply to it on official forums yet.

Well if you don't have mana, don't shoot it. When you do have mana to spare, it's almost 70 dps with single talent, which is a lot more than many other talents you take.

Silencing Shot is off the gcd, so ofc we are using it. It's an extra shot, which doesn't cancel any other shot in your rotation.

Well, using viper sting equals losing around 400 dps due to not having Chimera Serpents. And not all bosses do have mana in the first place. I don't think it'll make a big difference in the long run.
