hm... try to add this in your wmiirc

xw() {
        file="$1"; shift
        echo -n "$@" | wmiir write "$file"
}

function view_tag(){
        xw /ctl view "$1"
}

function next_tag(){
        CT=`wmiir read /view/name`
        PT='nil'
        while read T
        do
                [ "$CT" = "$T" -a $PT != "nil" ] && {
                        echo $PT
                        return;
                }
                PT=$T
        done <<EOF
`wmiir read /tags | sort $1`
EOF
        echo $PT
}

function view_next_tag(){
        view_tag `next_tag`
}
function view_prev_tag(){
        view_tag `next_tag -r`
}

then bind functions view_(next|prev)_tag to any keys you liker,
or even to BarClick event (buttons 3 & 4) to scroll through your tags with mouse.
