Interface and DoT

I did a search and couldn't find anything that directly answered this, does Interface proc with each tick of a DoT power or is it just from the initial attack?

Initial attack only. For toggles and patches, if they last more than 10 seconds, it will proc on activation and once every 10 seconds, just like an IO proc.

EDIT: When Interface was first introduced, it added it's effects on every tick of every power, making it ridiculously overpowered - people with Reactive and multiple patches, like a blaster with Rain of Fire and Caltrops, could put out nearly continuous nuke-level damage. This was a bug, and has since been fixed.

Dots (talking things like Fire's dot or Shadowmaul) don't "tick" in the proc sense. It's merely a delayed damage component.

Things like rain of fire, it's actually a new use of the power going off every tick, not a delayed damage component.
