Affliction Set -- No Cooldown?

I'm looking at the set in the Golden Vendor and it reads:

(2 items) Adds 129 Weapon Damage
(3 items) Adds 1096 Max Stamina
(4 items) Adds 129 Stamina Recovery
(5 items) When you deal damage, you have a 50% chance to deal an additional 1830 Disease Damage and apply Minor Defile to the target, reducing their healing recieved and health recovery by 15% for 4 seconds.

I am seeing old sources that show a tooltip that used to say that it could only occur once every 4 seconds, but now that appears to be gone from the tooltip. Was the cooldown from this set removed?

    From the Harrowstorm patch notes:

    "Affliction: Fixed an issue where this set would apply Minor Defile and have a 15% chance to apply Diseased. It will now always apply the Diseased status effect instead, since that debuff applies Minor Defile already."

    So, the 1830 Disease Damage. Does that have no cooldown? A 1 second cooldown? A 4 second cooldown?

    Judging by the wording, no cooldown.

    I’m playing with this currently as I also noticed the wording. The damage definitely has a cooldown as far as I can tell but it looks like you can apply the debuff to multiple people now. However once applied it won’t reapply till the old one expires. The damage will go off on one person per 4 secs... I think. It’s hard to tell on console and would love some clarity as this set feels much stronger in practice than I just described it working

    The cool-down is 4 seconds for the damage as well as the Minor Defile.

    You can still get 100% uptime on defile but this set isn't as good as it reads. I'm pretty sure they changed the description recently.

    It is odd it has a cooldown but it is not stated in the tooltip.

    We also have conflicting statements here. One player suggests the defile can be placed on multiple targets and another says that once it applies defile it will not apply defile again for another 4 seconds.

    It looks like someone needs to do actual testing and provide a screenshot.

    I am on console so do not take my feelings as gospel. It’s quite possible that the quick second defile icons I see applied on multiple opponents could be applied from elsewhere.

    To be honest I've never tested it on multiple opponents.

    I imagine the cool-down is per target, so theoretically you could apply it with every hit, as the tooltip states, but only if you hit different targets for 4 seconds.

    Against one opponent such as a dummy damage only gets applied every 4 seconds, once the defile runs out.
