Witchman Armor and Overload. Does it work on toggle? Does set still have a cooldown?

Frome the patch notes:

Shrouded Armor:
    * Renamed this item set to Witchman Armor. * This item set now has a 3-piece bonus of Weapon Damage instead of Magicka Recovery. * This item set now restores 28 Health and Stamina per point of your Ultimate’s cost when you activate an Ultimate ability.

In most cases this is perfectly clear, as a Nightblade, Soul Harvest costs 50 Ultimate, so this will restore 1400 each of health and stamina.

As a Sorcerer, overload requires (I think) 70 Ultimate to activate but actually costs 0 until you start attacking. Can a Stamina based Sorcerer get back 1960 each of Health and Stamina by toggling Overload without burning ultimate? On the other hand, a literal reading of "per point of your ultimate's cost when you activate" would shut overload users out of this set entirely.

The patch notes don't list a cooldown, it used to be 10sec. If it's still 10 sec then who cares; that's not enough added health and stamina to be worth the frustration of farming. If there's no cooldown and they're depending on the speed of ultimate generation to throttle the proc on this set, then it's time to farm the rift.

    Old question that has been answered before.

    Fair enough, so it doesn't work at all on Overload according to those links that reference the set bonus from PTS not necessarily the set bonus on live.

    It used to be 6880 Stam and Health on activation every 10 sec, but they changed it. Those links are a month old.

    I was hoping for current information.

    Rest assured, Witchman and Lamia's Song are not exploitable.

    As for the ten second cooldown, I am not sure.

    Perhaps the reason it was nerfed by such a large amount.

    Look, I don't want to argue with you. 6880 Stam and health every 10 sec for no cost every 10 sec is clearly an exploit.

    1960 every 10 sec probably isn't worth wasting a set bonus on, so not much of an exploit.

    I was hoping someone might have seen the actual text of the set bonus as it is on live today instead of cheekily pointing me to month old information with a condescending google gif.

    In 5 hours, when I can actually play, I'll tool around the Rift and find out for myself. Some people undoubtedly already have, I was hoping one of them might answer.

    It was not cheekily. I already gave you an answer to your question; the two sets are not exploitable. You can not toggle Overload to proc the set bonuses.

    Overload doesn't proc it.
