Quick question about enchants

Well sure it has been answered some times but I could not find definitive info, I thought that enchants could only proc with LA and HA but I red they changed that on octover or november 2018 and they now can activate with weapon abilities that are not DoTs or AoEs and well I did not find anything conclusive so I decided to ask.
And then I have put a disease damage in my bow and I am very pleased I kill people in pvp much faster and I would like to put a weapon damage enchant in my maul basicaly for execute people and well I need to know if the enchant procs with weapon abilities and if the increase in damage is, with a weapon damage enchant, comparable to a damage enchant like the disease enchant.

    Ground DoTs will proc enchant also, utilize infused for a stronger enchant and better uptime (can proc on CD with infused).

    Pretty sure its only Single Target DoTs and non Ground AoE DoTs that don't proc it. The initial direct damage portion of a single target attack that has a DoT effect will still proc it and the Direct damage portion of a AoE with a DoT effect will still proc it. Correct me if I'm wrong but thats how I remember it.

    the only skills that can proc enchants from their dots are wall of elements and morphs, stampede(next patch), blade cloak and morphs, and volley and morphs.

    Ok thanks for the quick answers.
    So you say the damage is better with weapon damage enchant than with disease damage enchant, right?
    And just weapon abilities not class abilities like screaming cliff racer?
    And dots on their initial damage but not the damage over time that is what i had understood, well and those three aoe Lightspeedflashb14_ESO mentions.
    Oh and the cooldown for enchants is 4 seconds not 5 right?

    non damage dealing enchantments like Weapon damage is I think 9 or 10 and damage dealing ones are shorter like you said at 4.
