Wipe Data means all your user data will be deleted, so the /data partition will be wiped.
Wipe Dalvik cache is wiping the dalvik cache
Okay in the dalvik cache is saved, where the program data is located. You can compare it to the MFT (Master File Table) in Windows
Mount system is if you have unmounted system first, to mount it again. Don't know when/why you should unmount system first. Maybe during an installation on sdcard and you don't wanna damage /system? Don't know...
If something is wrong please correct me

Just ask, here are many members who like to help you
All those things are recommended to do when you install a custom Rom. Or when your phone is not working well. Otherwise its not necessary doing that
Why you want to start a thread about this? Just google it friend. You'll understand more!

Just reboot into recovery (custom kernel not stock recovery) and use the Wipe data/factory reset option. You can also do extra wipes like described above if yo wish but in most cases just the wipe data/factory reset will suffice.

Thanks

It is not necessary to wipe cache partition and dalvik cache but I recommend you to wipe those cause The updated system is not totally optimized and the consequences will be some freezing and lag when you open apps. So The best choice would be wiping cache and data partition. And let the phone like new. A backup is necessary when you wipe data.
