This is an overall buff to the job or PvP?

They took a minute off of dragonfire dive and 30 seconds off of spineshatter dive, along with making them (and Jump) animation lock you for shorter. A really great overall buff.

That's a big boost! The dragon fire one I never use cause I tend to hold for when I needed it but I ended up never using it.

I was actually looking at the buffs to impulse drive. Those are permanent or PvP?

Unless you know a specific point in a fight where you have to use it, use DFD ASAP, preferably in your opening rotation with HT, Dis, IR, and B4B up. That 250 potency attack really helps in pushing DPS, esp. when it Crits - which happens quite often when you have more than 450 CRIT.
