I modified the Carsomyr to be dropped by Firkraag more to my liking, but I think it is well-balanced.

Trajen: The Sword of Righteousness
Trajen is a holy avenger that has been out of use for so long that it's history has been long forgotten. Perhaps one of the most powerful blades ever forged on Faerun, it was rescued from the evil red dragon, Firkraag, by the adventurer Trau on the orders of the Most Noble Order of the Radiant Heart. Trau slayed he dragon with the sword, and after returning it to the Order, was given the sword to begin its history anew.

Who needs Breach when it dispels magic on hit?

Zuvio, Breach takes out certain spell protections that not even dispel can deal with.

Like? I think that Dispel takes away everything that Breach would.

However, Dispel Magic, as an ability, removes both positive and negative buffs on a group of creatures, whether they be friend or foe. Breach does not; however, it is limited to a single creature, and does not dispel everything that Dispel does.

The "only enemies" counterpart of dispel magic is "remove magic"
I think Breach does not suit Carsomyr because it's a sword with anti-magic abilities not anti-magician abilities
most of the time you will use Carsomyr's Dispel not to bring down enemy defenses but to dispel stun, hold person or domination/charm

Breach removes PFMW ! When you try to hit someone with Carso and has PFMW active, you don't dispel anything, because weapon is ineffective.

Obviously this would become very handy when soloing paladins.

Nope. The original sword had a 3x per day Dispel ability. Not Remove Magic, but Dispel. =/ Also, since it's an ability, it works exactly like the Wizard variation, and doesn't give a diddly squat whether or not the opponent has PfMW or not.
