There is the Spellsword in the Complete Warrior which lets you wear heavier armor faster than the Duskblade will do normally.

There is also the Eldritch Knight if you want get into a prestige class late, which is pretty boring and straightforward, but works.

Also Runesmith if you want to be a Dwarf.

You sure? Duskblade gets light armour from level 1 as it is a base class, If I didn't go there I would be looking at either a mix Mage of some type/Fighter, also as a prestige class It would take time to get there, Eldritch knight I didn't like the look of as it seemed more melee focused with little on the spell side.

Not had a look at Runesmith though, what is that one like
