Insane cooldown slotting Incarnate Abilities?

[Tommety87]

So, is there a particular reason why you can't re-slot an incarnate ability for well over 5 minutes?

I wanted to switch between two hybrids I got to see what 'combat attributes'  change and by how much. My hasten refreshed multiple time now and I still get the message I can't switch my hybrids because of cooldown.

I'm fairly sure that cooldown refreshes if you switch zones, but undoubtedly someone will correct me if I'm wrong. As far as I know, the mechanic is there to stop you from freely switching between incarnate abilities within a piece of content to match each individual encounter.
