Keep in mind that Blackheart wasn't trying to destroy him. He wanted Ghost Rider alive so he could bring the San Venganza contract. It was shown that if Blackheart wants to subdue the target rather than kill them he can give them a lower dose. He did this to both Roxanne and Ghost Rider.

The necro touch thingie, there's no proof that it does anything other than freezing it's victim,
It doesn't freeze the victim, it decomposes them. Notice how his victims' features turn shrivelled and sunken.

to imply that it somehow does to Frost's blood what the anti coagulant did is speculating.
Who said it'll do the same as the EDTA? The EDTA blew him up. Blackheart's necroplasm will reduce him to a pool of putrid, poisoned blood.
Not the same thing by any means.

Ws it ever referred to as "eldritch poison" in the movies? Also, at the end, why didn't BH use it on the Rider?
Admittedly no. However it is referred to as such in the novel.
I know, I know, not the movie. However there's nothing in the novel to contradict how Blackheart's power works. Even going by just the movie, it certainly behaves like a poison. Notice how it spreads through the victim's body.
As to why he didn't use it in the climax, I assume he wasn't thinking clearly as he was too focused on getting the contract.
