I am a bit confused by the description of the witch hexes in the APG: how often can you use a given hex? Once per day? Or can you use the same hex again and again?
For example, can the witch use the Evil Eye again and again every round? And what about the Disguise hex? (To me it does not make much sense that it lasts 1 hour/level but you can re-use at will, that would effectively give you permanent disguise, but maybe that is WAD).

PS: I wanted to look at the APG FAQ first but I could not find them. I remember a poster some time ago stating (I guess jokingly) that the FAQ are purposely kept well-concealed by Paizo. :)
Could someone please provide me with a link to this secret location? Thanks.

Unless they state otherwise, they can be used at will. Evil Eye can be used at will, healing Hex can be used once per creature per day, disguise can be used for one hour per level per day.

Yep, the Witch can spam that sucker out round after round...
And what about the Disguise hex? (To me it does not make much sense that it lasts 1 hour/level but you can re-use at will, that would effectively give you permanent disguise, but maybe that is WAD).
A witch can change her appearance for a number of hours per day equal to her class level, as if using disguise self. These hours do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-hour increments.
So not 'at will'. 1hr/level per day, spent in 1hr increments.

Ok, that makes sense.
But how does one infer that from the description? It seems to me that both the Disguise and Evil Eye just indicate a duration, there is no mention of the latter being an at-will power. IMO it's not clear from the description alone that they work differently in terms of frequency.
Disguise (Su): A witch can change her appearance for a number of hours equal to her class level, as if using disguise self. These hours do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-hour increments.
It would be more clear if it was "for a number of hours equal to her class level every day". Flight hex has "per day" clause included in its description, Disguise probably missed it.

Yup. And the Flight hex also clearly states that feather fall can be used at will. It would really help if all hexes were described as crystal clear as the Flight hex.

I think it does already, my quoted reply above was a direct copy and dump of text, says per day.
In the FAQ, disguise is supposed to have the per day clause as well.

Ok, I finally found the FAQs for the APG (of course I cannot reveal the link now! :P) and it appears that someone else shared my question:
What's the time limitation for the witch's disguise hex?The hex's description should say that the witch can use the ability for a number of hours per day equal to the witch's class level.
