Heiho,
within your described situation a player will maybe not notice a positive effect of the leech staring at the Mana-fe-reservoir, but there will still be a leeching animation.
The point is, the nerf leeching gains against physical resistancies can't be inserted correctly the way you do in the nerfing formula, because a char will still gain the full leech from aforesaid Zombie, but the char will do only half of his (physical) damage - this is a completely other reason for less leeching than the difficulty penalty on leech itself.
Of course, in the end its an approximation, but it is not correct to cut leech down to no effect by this formula.
Given 11% Leech from equip.
Hell Penalty 1/3 => 3% Leech left
Drain 50% => 1% Leech left
This will still cause leeching, even as Hunky said above an only poor amount.
At last there is physical resistance, which will cut down your damage _and_therefore_ the resulting leech. Poorer, but not nonexistent.
