how about setting the animation to "walk" or "stand"

Still not work. It's play that animation then cast the ability. It doesn't cast instantly.

What you can do is make a dummy unit with the spell.
Then create a dummy spell for your hero based on channel. Set the fields to:
Data - Art Duration: 0.00
Data - Follow Through Time: 0.00

When you press the ability button on your hero, create the dummy unit and order it to fire the real spell.

In every unit in Object Editor, there is a field called 'Art - Cast backswing' and 'Art - Cast point' (something along the line). Set these values to 0 and your unit will cast instantly. Otherwise, there is no way you can edit the abilities to stop playing animation. Only certain abilities do not have cast animation while majority of rest will have intrinsically.
