ATo is a somewhat common 3-bet in a lot of configurations, in part because when you 3-bet ATo you make AJo at best indifferent or even fold quite a lot, which is very powerful.
The way I learned about bluff combos is that you often want to pick the hands that can fold out slightly better hands in your opponent's range. That's why you'll see stuff like K8s or Q9s show up in 3-bet strategies, because you very often get better hands like QTs or KJo to fold.
