Just a heads-up: there's a very easy way to copy and paste triggers to the hive.
First, right-click the trigger-name above the events and select "Copy as text".
Then, on the hive, write "[trigger]" and paste (CTRL + V). This should paste the entire trigger.
To finish it, just type "[/trigger]" and the trigger should look exactly the same.

Respawn:
I have a problem with the condition "Custom value of (Triggering Unit) equal to 0".
Shouldn't that be "not equal to 0"?
The rest seems okay. (I'm actually surprised creeps respawn at all).

Also, if you're going to use a constant ("Respawn_Time"), then you better actually use it .

Sprint:
"Lags like hell", really? I get about a half-second frame drop the first time I cast it. After that, no sign of lag at all.
Adding abilities to units always causes a slight frame drop the first time it is used. Because of that, many people like to preload it.
To do that, you can do this at map init:

• Unit - Order Unit to Night Elf Demon Hunter - Activate Immolation
• Unit - Order Unit to Night Elf Demon Hunter - Deactivate Immolation

("Unit" is any unit that can cast this ability).

If it still causes some frames to drop after the first time it is cast, then that is really weird and shouldn't happen.
Maybe something with the objects (abilities / buffs) that is a bit stressful on the game (like too many levels for the ability).

Also, you forgot some actions:
At the end of the first "Then - Actions":

• Skip remaining actions

Right after adding the unit to the group:

• Trigger - Add to (This trigger) the event (Unit - (Triggering unit)'s mana becomes Less than or equal to 0.10)

Last question:
Go to Scenario -> Player Properties and make the controller of those players "Computer".
In that same screen, go to the tab "Forces" and check "Use custom forces" and "Fixed player settings".

@Apo
To preload, you should simply add the ability(es) to the unit, you don't need to order them to use it

Oh yeah, you're correct. It doesn't actually matter though (as far as I know). By casting the ability, you preload everything that's in there (item, buff, abilities).

But if you cast the ability, the ability usually have an effect (not to mention of the ability creates SFX around the caster, etc, etc.)

It will make the game weird if you suddenly SFX being created at the middle of the map because you order the unit to cast it - follows the actual event of the spell.

It is better to add those abilities to the unit, rather than hoping on the related abilities via cast spell.
