Well this is just very messy. Instead of creating one unit at a time, and then adding it to the group, just make it: spawn 3 units at a time. And then another trigger for something like this:
  • Add to Group
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    • Conditions
      • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green)
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to Group
That will make your trigger much more comfortable for the eye. Also you could just set a couple of variables at game start for each region. And then reuse those variables in the spawn trigger. Something like this:
  • Set Variables
    • Events
      • Map initialization
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Set EastSpawn = (Center of (EastRegion))
      • Set WestSpawn = (Center of (WestRegion))
      • Set NorthSpawn = (Center of (NorthRegion))
      • Set SouthSpawn = (Center of (SouthRegion))
      • Set WavesAttackingPoint = (Position of (Holy Shrine))
As to the trigger malfunctioning, Im not sure. But atleast these things will help make it easier on the eye. And generally more fluid.
 
I don't really think a unit, which dies is automatically removed from your EnemyUnitGorup. You'll have to do yourself. Then it should work fine, i guess - but please do what Battlehound suggested anyway and maybe use only one timer.

Edit: Well forget what i said about the removing from unit group; just overlooked your post ._____.
Anyway, if you could attach the map to a post, it might be easier for us to fix it.
