I use rotFucused* from X.A.CycleWindows to change the focused window of
either pane independently.

Works great.

  import XMonad.Actions.CycleWindows  (rotFocusedUp, rotFocusedDown)

  -- note: EZConfig notation
  , ("M-C-k", rotFocusedUp  ) -- Rotate windows up through current focus
  , ("M-C-j", rotFocusedDown) -- Rotate windows down through current focus

HTH,
Pat
