Yes, it resets to full cooldown each time you are hit by an enemy champion, but only if it was on cooldown in the first place. This means, that you won't lose the bubble if someone auto attacks you.

If the enemy team has no long range poke and one particuliar powerful ability that they will always use first in a team fight, then this is your go-to-item. (Blitz + Thresh hooks, Amumu ult for example)

Its niche is supposed to be an anti initiation tool, not an item that randomly creates a bubble during a team fight and messes up your combo. That's what the former iteration of this item did (see the patch history). Because it was almost impossible to use this mechanic on purpose or skillfully, Riot decided that it felt too much like RNG and removed it.
