I just have Shiv on its normal key (A for me, using ESDF).
The macro, which I have bound to Shift-A (though I don't think that's optimal, it's just where it ended up), is something like:
/equip 11 Warp Splinter's Thorn;
/equip 11 Gladiator's Shanker
Where 11 is the off hand slot. I've probably got the number wrong, but you get the idea. You spam that macro a bit (you can't accidentally change twice because of the 1s cooldown), then shiv, then switch back, or not... I don't always immediately switch back, it depends which poison I'm more concerned with keeping on them. So it's a manual effort basically, but a very easy one.
If you have this macro bound on a toolbar somewhere, it will also light up (with a green border) when the first named weapon is equipped. The other easy way to tell is to look at your two weapon buff icons (to this end, it's probably best that your spare OH isn't identical (or doesn't have the same icon/graphic) to your regular one!).
I don't know if that sounds complicated, it shouldn't do, because it isn't. Shiv away Poison 1, press macro, Shiv away Poison 2, press same macro again to switch back. Continue as required. Hell, have a third OH ready and you could shiv Wound as well !
