There have been multitudes of questions and requests that involve manipulating spell cooldowns. Most of these ARE NOT POSSIBLE! Because of this, I would like to clarify a few points regarding spell cooldowns:
1) The remaining time left in a spell’s cooldown cannot be set via triggers.
2) The cooldowns of specific spells cannot be reset via triggers without resetting all of the other spell cooldowns of that unit. The only way to reset specific spell cooldowns to remove the abilities that you want to reset and add them back in.
3) The remaining time left in a spell cooldown cannot be detected via triggers. At best, this can only be guessed at using waits and periodic events.

I will add this to the FAQ at my next update.
