You will hit a random enemy within range for Whirlwind damage every second if you're bladestorming with SS up. I've been told you'll even hit the same enemy repeatedly if you only have one target available (boss situations), but I can't say if it's true or not.
Edit: Just tested it, doesn't work on single-target.

it used to reflect all the WW hits to one target, but it got nerfed for being OP.
i rarely use them together now, preferring to use SS with 2 targets and save WW for many targets.

Not every "swing" of Bladestorm causes a Sweeping Strike attack on a secondary target, I don't really get how it works. Usually I get around 3 SS hits from a Bladestorm.

Bladestorm swings will indeed proc Sweeping Strikes swings. I'm not entirely sure how it works, but if you really want confirmation, go the target dummies and try it out.

No, Noatalba must be right, Bladestorm attacks aren't affected by SS, it's the white swings you perform under the Bladestorm effect that are repercuted on a secondary target. This is why you don't have as many SS procs as BS ticks. They also are significantly weaker than the BS attacks, in fact the same strength as your white swings.

I literally just tested it. It is as you claimed before Shiverlynn; it works but it does not proc off every whirlwind swing. For 8 seconds of combat (on two dummies) where I jumped in, popped Sweeping Strikes and Bladestorm, and then jumped out when Bladestorm was over, my recount counted:
Bladestorm: 12
Sweeping Strikes: 10
Melee (white): 2
Opportunity Strikes: 3
Based on this I think it would be a fair assumption to say that Sweeping Strikes does proc from Whirlwind spins, if only some of them.
With this in mind, I believe that it is still more effective to use Sweeping Strikes in conjunction with your basic damaging abilities, such as Mortal Strike and Overpower.

Testet on 3 dummies I am lvl 77.
Starting SS. hit autoattack and BS allmost same time.
When BS ran out I turned away and SS was still active.
BS 21 hits (7 hits at each target)
SS 7 hits
Melee 2 hits (speed 3.69 sec.)
I did it with my bag to the targets so I had no white hits:
BS 21 hits
SS 7 hits
Melee 2 error, turning the wrong way.
Each SS did dmg equal to white dmg, non crit.
BS hits did roughly 50% more dmg on it's non crits.
Another test. Only useing Mortal strike and white.
2 mortal strikes in the SS time (should have gotten 3).
3 whites
1 MS crit for 6k dmg, and the SS for that, did 6k non crit.
Summary:
SS + BS:
BS trigger the SS but the dmg is as white dmg,
and that is max 7 SS hits. But you are able to do a MS before and after BS, still with SS active.
Gave me 12 SS hits in a 1 time test.
if you are lucky SS give u
7 white dmg non crit.
2 MS crit.
3 white dmg crit.
