you used to be able to tell hard house from trance very easily, as hard house was supposed to be house music. as you say, now the lines are very blurred, most of what people call hard house isnt house music, but it isnt hard trance either. i put it in my own little frame of 'hard gash'.
hard house should be much bouncier than trance, have a house beat & structure, using samples and synths, in a very fast tempo. hard house should use a lot of darker sounds combined with big riffs that are much less intricate and detailed than those of trance. in a summary, hard house should sound cheap and cheerful, yet somehow wrong 
if you want to tell the difference between hard house and hard trance, go listen to tony de vit - i dont care for an example of hard house, and anything produced by shokk for hard trance.
