Hiya! So I decided to give the Jaina model a Starfall ability, but unfortunately during Starfall she doesn't do anything but stand there. This is also the case when you use Blizzard on her as well. I am not sure why she doesn't play any animation for channeled spells, but I thought maybe I could create the animation with triggers, except I am awful with triggers. I basically want Jaina to play her Stand Victory animation throughout the channeled spell, but once interrupted/cancelled/finished she goes back to her normal Stand -1 animation, though I have NO idea how to do it ._. any help would be VERY much appreciated.

Find the spell in question in object editor. Set "Art - Animation names" to "Victory".

AFAIK she will continue to play the victory animation even when the spell ends (at least as long as she gets no new order), so you could try this simple trigger:
  • Untitled Trigger 001
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Stops casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your_spell
    • Actions
      • Animation - Play (Triggering unit)'s stand animation
