i have 4 abilities (basically copy pasted) 'Destroyer form' ability (ofcourse different unit will appear for the alternate appearance of each spells) but the thing is, the last one will only activate regardless of if pressed respective hotkey or manually click others...do i need to use the other morphing spells instead to prevent this conflict?
 
A unit cannot have multiple spells that are based off the same spell. The reason is because each spell has a predefined order and that order is issued to the unit after you (the player) click the spell (or select target for the spell). There are a few exceptions to this rule, like Channel spell, which allows you to change the order, but majority of spells do not support changing order.

In case of Destroyer Form, when you click one of the four abilities, the unit is issued 'sphinxform' order but the game will not know which ability to cast, since all four of them react to that same order.

So yes, you will need to use different morph abilities.
 
Here a list morph abilities
  • Metamorphosis - Demon Hunter
  • Destroyer Form - Obsidian Statue
  • To make this both ways, uncheck "Permanent"
  • Strom Crow Form - Druid of the Talon
  • Bear Form - Druid of the Claw
  • Burrow - Crypt Fiend or Scarab
  • Robo-Goblin - Goblin Tinker
  • Stone Form - Gargoyle
  • Submerge
  • Polymorph - Sorceress
  • Call to Arms - Town Hall/Keep/Castle
  • Hex - Shadow Hunter
