Based on what I see in the PLD part of the trailer, a DoT tick happens at every 3s after application of Goring Blade. The tick that you describe as "missing" could just be happening to occur exactly when the vfx for the second to last Confiteor combo move occurs, obscuring and mostly covering the much smaller DoT tick vfx. It doesn't help that the two vfx are basically the exact same color. The timing lines up pretty exactly with those 3s intervals for that to happen.
Additionally, abilities that apply DoTs don't have the DoT tick on activation but starting after the first 3s interval; so, the DoT vfx occurring during the usage of the final step of the Confiteor combo wouldn't mean that the final step ability is applying the DoT but that the DoT was applied earlier and the DoT tick happened to occur at the the move was used. If part of the Confiteor combo is applying a DoT it most likely would be the 3rd step since that is the one where there is some uncertainty as to whether we can see a DoT tick vfx since the vfx for the combo ability may be masking it. If the Confiteor combo doesn't apply a DoT within it, that would then possibly point to Goring Blade's DoT effect having an increased duration since that would then be 9 DoT ticks in the trailer, equating to a duration of at least 27s, which would fit with the 30s/30s rotational switch off between Physical (FoF) and Magical (Req) pretty neatly. One application of Goring at the start of FoF and one application right before Req.
It's hard to say for sure though since what happens in the job action trailers don't always match up with the reality of how the job ends up working.
