When people say a "tick," they are referring to each activation of an ability. Each tick for a HoT is the moment when the ability activates and the person gets the HP from the healing. A tick of a DoT is the instant when the mob takes the periodic damage. A tick of mana regeneration is the moment your mana goes up by your regen amount. And so on. I'm not sure if the length of a tick is the same for all occurrences that the term is used for.
