How about dropping Iron Heart, to leave that solely to Warblades and the like, and having the last discipline be chosen for you based on your race?

I'll start with a few pairings.

Elf: Dancing Leaf Discipline
Human: Any one discipline that isn't class-specific
Half-Orc: Army of One
Dwarf: Stone Dragon
Half Elf: Scarlet Bravura
Gnome: Shadow Hand
Halfling: Setting Sun

Eberron-
Shifter: Tiger Claw
Kalashtar: Sleeping Goddess
Warforged: Jade Throne
I'd say it's different enough from the Soul Disciple that I wouldn't feel weird about using them together (although I'd probably actually use this in favor of the Soul Disciple).

I hate hate hate the racial discipline idea. It doesn't fit with the existing class abilities at all, and race in general is a matter for PrCs, feats and substitution levels to deal with — not the core design of base classes. Ever.
