Time spent with leave other than as your wife's dependent doesn't count.

See para 319e (d)(ii) of the rules.

The rules have changed since 09-Jul-12.
Anyone entering the PBS dependant route after 08-Jul-12 is now subject to 5 years residential period and all these 5 years must have been lived "as a dependant of the principal migrant".

319E(d)(ii).
