Maybe you could rearrange the pre-epic level progression, 10 pale master levels will totally screw up your bab. Maybe go something like 8 bard (= 6 bab), 8 red dragon disciple (= 6 bab), 4 palemaster (= 2 bab). You'd get a total of 14 bab pre-epic instead of the 11 bab you get with 9 bard (= 6 bab), 10 pale master (= 5 bab), 1 red dragon disciple (= 0 bab).

You'll get the same amout of skill points in epic as in pre-epic levels. And you don't have to take 8 levels of bard, 8 levels of red dragon disciple and 4 levels of pale master strictly in this order. You just need to get this set up reaching level 20, but during this feel free to get your bard at important levels to max out tumble or other important skills.
Your saves will be better too (slightly). With level progression you posted you'll get following base saves:
fort: 12 will: 15 reflex: 6
With the other progression (8-8-4) you'll get following saves:
fort: 12 will: 16 relfex: 9
If you get the half-dragon shape (the balor) you'll can wield a big weapon in one hand, so you could take weaponfocus: and improved critical: spear. Just go with mace or anytthing else handy but as soon as you'll get huge/giant size, you can wield a spear and a shield.
Another possibility is to take martial or exotic weapon proficiency. You could use a two handed sword or a scythe and don't need spellfocus: and greater spellfocus: transmutation to keen your weapon as they both coun't as slashing weapon (not quite sure about scythe as it does both piercing and slashing damage). Slightly less team play compatible but you'll get a free feat (blind fight, toughness, ...)

Go 8 Bard/10 RDD/2 PM for first 20. You'll still end up with a 14 BAB at 20, and you can get you INT bonus at lvl 14, and your 10th lvl of RDD as early as 15. Saves F/R/W would be 12/9/15. You loose 1 to your will save but pick up 6 skill points.
