Question about Phantom Dancer

PD's unique passive Lament tells us that the last champion hit will deal 12% less damage to you. I have a few questions on the nature of this passive for clarity sake.

Example 1: Miss Fortune attacks champion A. Miss Fortune then attacks a minion to reset her passive. Champion A hits Sivir. Does the damage reduction apply?

Example 2: Sivir throws her Q. Sivir auto attacks Champion A. Sivir's Q comes back and hits Champion B. Champion A attacks Sivir. Does the damage reduction apply?

Example 3: Ashe buys both PD and Runaan's. Her auto attack hits Champion A while Runaan's bolts hits Champion B immediately after. Champion A attacks Ashe. Does the damage reduction apply?

Example 4: Aatrox ignites Champion A. Champion A disengages from Aatrox. Champion B now engages Aatrox. Aatrox auto attacks Champion B. Ignite deals damage to champion A. Champion B attacks Aatrox. Does the damage reduction apply?

Example 5: Tryndamere has both PD and Thornmail. Tryndamere attacks Champion A. Champion B attacks Tryndamere and receives damage from Thornmail. Champion A attacks Tryndamere. Does the damage reduction apply?

I think (so don't quote me) the phantom dancer's effect only applies from auto-attacks & immediate champion abilities (such as ashe's volley, but not teemo's shrooms). At least I've never noticed it's effect trigger from thornmail & ignite anyway. Otherwise I think it is literal, applies against the most recent champion damaged.
