Tech would be a move or technique that requires a significant amount of precision to achieve the desired result.
So dancing with poi (not just wiggling or bending your knees) is tech?

This could be branched off even further, as "dance" (whilst being pretty hollistic and airy in terms of definition in itself) styles can be varied, some require huge amounts of precision (authentic tango, ballet for example), whilst others are hugely open to interpretation; contact dance, popping etc.

EDIT (In case someone posts before I type this) I reckon Isolations are Tech, because they require a specific, different technique to 'normal spinning'. Normal spinning... you know, regular circles with the centre of rotation as the hand..
taken out of context i must seem so strange

...the further removed from 'normal spinning' something is, the more tech it is.

I don't really think it matters what is defined as tech or not... or dance or not... because poi and spinning is essentially dependant on the spinners interpretation, and that is individual.

But I think you guys are trying to define what is 'hard tricks', no?
