Quick Question regarding Aspect of the Viper

Ok, this will be my 2nd hunter I'm leveling up. My first one the new changes to Aspect of the Viper being available at lvl 20 it didn't exist back then. I've been paying attention to the stickies posted above on leveling, but my question is should I always leave aspect of the viper on while I'm leveling up or keep aspect of the hawk on at all times, and only switch over to aspect of the viper when my mana gets low. I know there's a reduce in dps while under aspect of the viper, but I thought this should be on at all times while leveling to keep your mana up all the time, any pointers? Thanks :)
P.s. At the moment I'm a leveling 30 BM Hunter, I have Glyph of the Hawk equipped and my first 5 talent points in Improved Aspect of the Hawk or whatever it is.

This was the case of "old" hunters (pre-3.0). Aspect of the Viper now lowers your damage by 50% so you will need twice the time to kill a mob. Use it just when you really need it.

Ok, but after looking at the sticky at the top on leveling I did notice something it says to put 5/5 into Endurance training instead of Improved Aspect of the Hawk, but after clicking on link to the build, it shows that you should have Glyph of the Hawk, which I don't understand why if your 5/5 points are not going into Improved Aspect of the Hawk, that glyph only benefits from points in that, I was thinking getting Glyph of Mending instead, would that be a wise choice?

Hmm well a lot of it depends on whether or not you like spending twice the time killing a mob as you would with Hawk on. However you did say,
P.s. At the moment I'm a leveling 30 BM Hunter, I have Glyph of the Hawk equipped and my first 5 talent points in Improved Aspect of the Hawk or whatever it is.
and as every hunter knows (or at least shoud know) BM is probably the best tree for levelling. with a high damage pet, you're reduction in DPS would be noticable but not as much as people may think, it all depends on the pet and how you're specced it.
My advice would be, use Hawk while killing things then switch to Viper while running around like a loon looking for your next target, or heading off to hand the quest in, both reduce the need for mana pots or loads of drinks in your bags leaving more room for all that lovely loot :D
