Specifically for Sword Specialization there is a patch note from 2.1.2 that reads (this was following a brief period where they tried to make sword spec procs yellow and then reverted it):
Sword Specialization: The change to Sword Specialization making its extra attacks appear in yellow has been reverted. Extra attacks will appear in white and act like any auto-attack. They will no longer reset the swing time of your weapon. Rage awarded will be calculated by damage dealt as with any normal auto-attack.
So in theory sword specialization should not reset your swing timer in 2.4.3. Couldn't find anything about WF totem in patch notes but we should definitely test that as well Windfury Totem does not proc off special attacks anymore - only white swings (it was changed without a patch note around August 2007 IIRC) so for Windfury Totem there's not much to test WRT swing resets.
I note this as well for 2.2.0:
- Sword Specialization: This talent’s free extra attacks can no longer trigger additional extra attacks.
We should also test how items which grant extra attacks behave, such as Thrash Blade or Blinkstrike (if we can actually get one).
Sword specialization: Whilst heroic strike or cleave is queued, check if special attack proccing sword spec results in white attack or HS/Cleave.
Extra attacks can still be converted into HS/Cleave, just tested on PTR:

Verify behavior is consistent with classic vanilla:
