Answer

In present tense verbs:
He writes يَكْتُبُ
He does يَفْعَلُ
so the (يـ) refers to the single masculine absent.
Whereas, in present passive verbs (the subject or actor of the verb is missing) we say:
It is written بُكْتَبُ
It is done يُفْعَلُ
so the (يـ) refers to the object being written or done... this is for the masculine
For the feminine, we use تـُ instead of the يـُ

Answer

When أ comes after يـ you should read it "ya". 
When و comes after يـ you should read it "yo".

About the consonants:
"Herbstlied" is right, when verbs are in passive, يـ is pronounced "yo".

When verbs are in present tense, يـ is pronounced "ya", but not in all the verbs.
In some verbs يـ is pronounced "yo" (in present tense), for example:
يحب = yo7eb
يذاكر = yozaker
يعطي = yo3ti

*7=ح
**3=ع

But in most cases, يـ is pronounced "ya" if the verb is in present tense.

I have no rule, sorry.
Hope this helps:)
