Armor sum: 10507 - that's also Physical Resistance value (so your assumption that armor is now named Physical Resistance is right)
My Spell Resistance is 11812 (10507 armor + 1305 bonus from Whitestrake's Set)
Now I will spend 1 champion point at The Lord - Heavy Armor Focus: "Increases Your Physical Resistance by 1% while wearing 5 or more pieces of heavy armor.". After that my Physical Resistance increased to 10612, 10612 - 10507 = 105 which is 1% of 10507.
Now let's calculate it using Garkin's formula (I'm at vet rank 6):
1% of Physical Resistance = (50 + 6) * 10 = 560, not true, should be 105
10507 / 560 = 18.76%, 10612 / 560 = 18.95%, 18.95 - 18.76 = 0.19%, so my Physical Resistance increased by 0.19%, that's wrong, you can't calculate it like that.

Formula I have used is for mitigation. Increasing armor (physical resistance) by 1% doesn't necessarily mean that your mitigation from this stat will be 1% higher.
You physical damage reduction (mitigation) from 10507 armor should be:
(10507 - 100) / ((50+6) * 10) = 10407 / 560 = 18.5839%
If you increase your armor value by 1% (to 10612) all physical damage taken will be reduced by:
(10612 - 100) / ((50+6) * 10) = 10512 / 560 = 18.7714%
BTW: "value - 100" is because all characters starts with 100 armor penetration.
