It should tick once at the start, then again every 10 seconds.
This is an odd power though, I couldn't say for sure without testing it.
I really should do something about this signature.
I think I'm going to have to try it out on Test then. Cheers for the answer PRAF.
I have 2 psi damage procs and an energy damage proc in mine and they all fire. Like PRAF said it should tick once at the start, then again every 10 seconds but they do seem to fire more often than that.

I't may well be true. This power summons several pesudo-pets. One of which generates the damage, as an aura. This should cause any procs from a damage set to fire every 10 seconds, as is normal.
However, the hold is generated by additional pesudopets, that appear to be summoned every 10 seconds, and last for 15 seconds (so you will often have several active together). The hold is a click power firing every 6 seconds, and the proc (from a hold set) could potentially trigger each time.

That's wrong AFAIK
The Holds are cast every few seconds by the 4 Vent minions, so the PROC has a chance of going off every time one of the 4 vent minions casts its single target hold.
So Hold PROCs check more often than once every 10 seconds. I think its 4 single target checks every 6 seconds or so.
Posi's Blast in Gasses will check every 10 seconds as its "cast" by the PBAOE damage aura gasses has.
Just tested this and you seem to be spot on Carnifax. The psi procs from the hold sets seem to be firing every 5-7 seconds and the energy proc every 10 seconds.

Actually here's another thought. With Pets if you slot Set IOs with some Recharge in them, such as putting ToHit Debuff/Recharge IOs in a Lich or Dark Servant, not only is the power itself recharged quicker but any powers the pet has which can be affected with that Set IO will also recharge faster (so a Dark Servants Heal and Tentacles since they've both got a ToHit debuff component. Ditto for a Lich his Fearsome Stare & Blasts recharge quicker since they've a -ToHit component).
Does that mean that Hold/Recharge or Acc/HoldRecharges in Gasses will not only affect how quicky Gasses itself will recharge but how quickly the Vents will recast their single target holds (since they're technically pets), or do they fall foul of the "Pet of a pet" thing which means the Enhancement values aren't passed down to them? *Edit : Thinking about it answered this bit for me, since Holds do improve the (brief) time things are held, meaning more chance of double stacking, then the Vents are obviously getting passed the Enhancement values.
If they do inheret the Recharge of Hold Set IOs then coupling the PROCs with Acc/Hold/Recharge and Hold/Recharge IOs would mean an insane amount of PROCing available. Great vs single tough targets (which is where the Posi's Blast PROC tends to be poor).
Hurrah! Just checked back and, my my, that proc is rather yummy! Glad I picked it up. 
Right, if I put the Ghost Widow (Chance for Psi) in Volcanic will it continue to proc? I ask this because, from my understanding, any boost to the hold and damage portions of the power applies to the first tick only.
I've currently got the Ghost Widow set in Fossilize and the psi damage is pretty decent when it fires. Volcanic is up at virtually every mob thanks to Hasten plus some recharge bonuses from other sets and in a team with at least one Kineticist it's a done deal.
