Experimental update:

Regeneration Awareness V tested on Spirit of the Leopard, Breath of Trushar and Wunshi's Focusing. 1 extra tick on Leopard and Trushar and a couple of extra minutes on Wunshi's. This may indicate that merely the descriptions are off. Nonetheless, it's extremely frustrating.

They also won't show under potion lists in the bazaar, unless people are aware of their existance and search for them by name they won't have an easy time finding m. (awareness I-IV potions do show up fine)

I was pretty p.o.'d when I saw how the announced (in the latest patch message) alchemy fixes actually manifested themselves in-game.

For the most part, this is a cut and paste of one of my posts in the Data Submissions forum; I merely added verdicts to release some steam.

The most recent patch included updated "Awareness V" descriptions. None of the other potions were corrected, as far as I could tell.
