Yes, bleeding and poisoning can be stacked. Unfortunately, Melandru's Arrows, which always causes bleeding, is also an elite skill, so if you want to cause both poisoning and bleeding you'll have to use Hunter's Shot (which only causes bleeding if the target is running), or take your pet, and use Feral Lunge (which only causes bleeding if the target is attacking), or use Barbed Trap (which only works if the enemy steps on the trap).
"Poison arrow" can be more useful then "Apply poison" (which is a preparation), because it can now be used together with other preparations, such as "Kindle/Ignite Arrows", or "Read the wind" , etc.
Poison Arrow is not cheaper than Apply Poison, though. Apply Poison lasts for 24 seconds, so you can shoot approximately 10 poisoned arrows for a cost of 15 energy. Poison Arrow costs 5 energy per shot.
