My question purely is what happens when you go to 0 health or less?

Well almost. It's more "what happens to my powers that I have active, resists and item properties when I go to 0 or less health?"

Examples

Playing a cleric and I'm using the consecrated ground power and i fall down at -3 health. It states it lastes to the end of my next turn. Does it stay in affect and heal me at the start of my turn or does it fade when I start dying.

2nd example My character has ongoing 4 necrotic damage but has resist 5 necrotic. Does my character lose the resistance when I have 0 or less health.

 Lastly, in regards to the last 2 examples, how would a revenant differ as it would not go unconcious but dazed when dying.

Can I have official responses  to these questions please as it's to resolve a dispute between my DM and myself. I'm not doing this to embaress him but rather to clarify the rules and what we're actually going to do when these situations crop up. Thank you

Unless noted otherwise, most effects and conditions that you endure or that you created remain in effect while you are dying.

In your 1st exemple, Consecrated Ground would heal the Cleric up.

In your 2nd example the resistance wouldn't go until it reach its specified duration.

One effect that consistently does not occur while at 0 HP or less is Regeneration, which specifies you must have at least 1 hp.

 As Plaguescarred said, most other effects continue.  The main difference for a Revenant is that they could use their one action to sustain a power that requires sustaining.

   Some effects, such as conjurations, do end if you actually die, but not while you are dying.  In this case, Epic Destiny effects that do something when you die (like Archmage) don't prevent the conjurations or other effects from ending, because you do actually die before that ability kicks in.

All effects continue unless they say they don't.  Examples of things that say they don't:  regeneration, marks, stances.

Wait. If I'm a revenant and i only go dazed when i  start dying instead of going unconscious, would I still loose the stance/mark?

No. You lose it specifically when you fall unconscious.
