[PC] Here's why Expert/Evil/Camouflaged Hunter appear to stack

I think I've just figured out why Expert/Evil/Camouflaged Hunter appear to stack multiple times on PC. This test was done in the PTS with the new update.
The Camouflaged Hunter tooltip states that it has a 15% chance to proc against undead/daedra, and a 4% chance on everything else, and does extra damage from stealth against undead/daedra.
Well, it turns out that 15% and 4% chance to proc is from any form of attack damage. For example, I only used two skills and a bow heavy attack in this test against a Frost Atronach.
Camouflaged Hunter
Poison Injection
Dominion's Bow [deals 1090 unresistible damage]
It turned out like this. Now remember, this is the combat damage log from pressing a single button. All I did was stealth, activate Camouflaged Hunter, pull back the bow for a heavy attack, and press the button for Poison Injection to release the attack.
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Heavy Attack
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Camouflaged Hunter (proc'd by the Heavy Attack)
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Damage Health
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Camouflaged Hunter (proc'd by the weapon enchant)
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Poison Injection
You hit Frost Atronach for (x) damage with Camouflaged Hunter (proc'd by Poison Injection)
Admittedly, I got extremely lucky that it proc'd on all three at once, but this shows that it can happen. So, I hit that poor Frost Atronach with 6 attacks in one second.
Now, for the solution. Make the proc from Expert/Evil/Camouflaged Hunter only work once every 5 seconds, just like the cooldown on weapon enchants do.
