differences of mana leech?

What exactly is the difference between
1.) 6% mana leech
and
2.) 6% mana per hit
?

Do in game items actually say mana leech? Or is it just common usage to say that.
I think it's the exactly the same thing in different words.

Oh? Interesting! So every „hit“ (with an

Axe , an arrow, a Firewall, a poison spike) on a monster leeches 6% of it‘s mana, right?
So

Hurricane is basically Instant-full-mana?

Nope. It has to be a physical hit with a weapon

also it leeches x% of the physical(!) weapon damage you deal to the monster.

Only weapon hits dealing physical damage (as noted above; final damage, after resistance and damage reductions), multiplied by drain effetiveness, multiplied by difficulty level penalty. No easy infinite mana, sorry.
But

Life Tap curse, unlike life and mana leech on items, ignores drain effectiveness and difficulty penalties, and yes, it basically means infinite life. Commonly used to fight Ubers.

Yeah, life I got, mana I need…
