"-k rotate" was the right way to do it. Only reloads the helpers and
rotates the logs.

WCCP and other public-facing services should not be seeing any loss of
service at all on rotate. Worst case is a short[1] lag while the store
index journal gets rebuilt and dumped to disk.

[1: for various definitions of 'short'.]

Is there any sign in cache.log of Squid crashing at or around those times?
2.7 has an auto-restart built in that may be masking it from notice.
