You should add to the "Warrior Charge Teleport - Trigger" the action (at first step):

• Wait - Wait 0.01 seconds

That wont work, minimum wait time is 0.27

EDIT:

Heres what you did wrong... This is how your trigger looks like:

• Warrior Charge Teleport
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge (Triggers)
  • Actions
    • Set TempReal = (Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)))
    • Set TempReal = (TempReal + 180.00)
    • Set RushVictimInit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Casting unit)
    • Set RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = RushVictimInit[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Set RushVictimPoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Position of RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))) Greater than 200.00
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Create 1 stundummy for (Triggering player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (TempPoint offset by 100.00 towards TempReal degrees), facing TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )
    • Unit - Order Player_Unit_Heroes[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] to Attack Stored_Unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
    • Unit - Cause RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to damage RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))], dealing (100.00 x (Real((Level of Charge (Triggers) for RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Force
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove (Last created unit) from the game

This is how the trigger Should look like:

• Warrior Charge Teleport
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge (Triggers)
  • Actions
    • Set TempReal = (Angle from (Position of (Triggering unit)) to (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)))
    • Set TempReal = (TempReal + 180.00)
    • Set RushVictimInit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Casting unit)
    • Set RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = RushVictimInit[(Player number of (Triggering player))]
    • Set RushVictimPoint[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Position of RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))])
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))) Greater than 200.00
      • Then - Actions
      • Else - Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Unit - Create 1 stundummy for (Triggering player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set StunDummy = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order StunDummy to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Pause StunDummy
    • Unit - Move StunDummy instantly to (TempPoint offset by 100.00 towards TempReal degrees), facing TempPoint
    • Unit - Unpause StunDummy
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_TempPoint )
    • Unit - Order Player_Unit_Heroes[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] to Attack Stored_Unit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
    • Unit - Cause RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))] to damage RushVictim[(Player number of (Triggering player))], dealing (100.00 x (Real((Level of Charge (Triggers) for RushUnit[(Player number of (Triggering player))])))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Force
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove StunDummy from the game
    • Set StunDummy = No unit

Changes ive done:

- Set an Variable for the dummy (so it wont malfunction)
- Pause and Unpaused before move-instantly (this was the thing causing your cooldown not to work)

Tested, and it should work now

Wrap it with trigger, checking ...

remove the wait 0.01

use these lines around the move unit instantly

• Unit - Pause triggering unit
• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (TempPoint offset by 100.00 towards TempReal degrees), facing TempPoint
• Unit - Unpause triggering unit

Then also remove the second 1.00 wait

Add

• Unit - Add expirontimer generic one sec

I don't get this really:
"but now you can see the "stun" part of the spell which is a fireball."

cant you just remove the model from the fireball ability?

I see that you set the special effect but you dont remove it?

Well that's about it, hope you fixed it.
