Procs check whenever the the power they're slotted in is used, or every ten seconds for toggles. Ammo type just alters which secondary effect is active, but all are technically present at all times, so current ammo setting has no effect on proc chances.

The only time it works like this is with Henchmen, ie a Henchman with that proc would need tou use a DefDebuff power for it to fire.

@Roderick
The Henchmen example was what concerned me.
I figured based on how the Swap Ammo power is described to work (that it adjusts probabilities of secondary effects that are always present, even when at 0%) that it probably worked how Schismatrix described. But, I'm happy to have that confirmed.
Thanks for the responses.
I confirmed during beta that the Force Feedback Chance for Recharge proc worked in Empty Clips when not using standard ammo (no knockback chance) so the others should work the same way.
Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name
