Here is one solution

In[1]:=
	{s/J,J/s}//.{a:(s/J) |(J/s)  :> (a/.J->s W)}
Out[1]=
	 1
	{-, W}
 	 W

But for complicated expressions you might find it better to use  
AlgebraicRules, or my package AlgebraicRulesExtended (on  
MathSource).

In[2]:=
	{Sin[5 + a s^2/J],Sqrt[J]/s/ b, s/J, J/s}/.
		AlgebraicRulesExtended[ J/s == W]
Out[2]=
	         a s   Sqrt[s W]  1
	{Sin[5 + ---], ---------, -, W}
	          W       b s     W

Or, if you prefer J to s

In[3]:=
	{Sin[5 + a s^2/J],Sqrt[J]/s/ b, s/J, J/s}/.
		AlgebraicRulesExtended[ J/s == W,{s,J}]
Out[3]=
	         a J       W      1
	{Sin[5 + ---], ---------, -, W}
	          2    b Sqrt[J]  W
		 W
