It's too good for Wizards, and terrible for most other classes.

Kinda like humans.
(That was a jab at humans, not you Nifft, who i assume is one of the Beakman's World penguins who has taken up imaginative cooperative gaming to occupy the void left by Paul Zaloom)

Yeah, I would take it as a wizard, probably not with most other classes.
I like the idea of specializing (multiclassing in your own class). Currently the multiclass feats are better than most normal feats, balanced by the fact that you can only choose one. This doesn't leave much for people that want to focus on one class.
I would suggest that you make a multiclass feat for each class. The one you suggested above is fine for wizards, but doesn't do much for a fighter. Maybe the fighter feat would make him have the advantages of both a great weapon and a sword and shield fighter or give him some other ability.
Also make additional feats at higher levels to make up for the power swap feats. They don't have to be class specific, just something along the lines of using a specific daily or encounter power twice per day/encounter. Remember, this is more powerful than a normal feat, but you give up the option to multiclass.

Actually I think a better/ more balanced version might be to choose a 1st level encounter power and it becomes a daily power for you. Maybe give additional skill training as well, or some other little bonus to equalize it with the multiclass feats. Does that make it more or less appealing to classes other than wizards?

Try this:
Focused
Prerequisite: 1st-level. Cannot choose this and a multi-class feat.
Benefit: Gain a +2 bonus to 2 of your class skills. You have mastered your abilities to such an extent that you may, as a free action, convert any power you know into another power you know of the same type (encounter attack, utility or daily attack) that is of equal or lower level. This conversion is not permanent, it lasts only for that use of the power.
Talented
Prerequisite: Must have the Focused feat.
Benefit: You may designate any power you use, as a free action, once per day, as having the Reliable keyword. This keyword remains with that power until you take an extended rest or until the power is reliably used.
Special: You may take this feat only once in the Heroic tier, once again in the Paragon tier and one last time in the Epic tier.

As Nift said, it's very good for wizards (my eladrin wizard would want this so badly!).
Some other possibilities:
a) If you're aiming this feat towards Wizards, then it could be power swap: write a 1st level at-will spell into your spellbook - you can retrain one of your known 1st level at-will spells for this one after an extended rest. Maybe make a paragon feat or a feat chain that allows the same for encounter powers... dunno :/
b) If you're aiming this feat towards any class, it could be like a modified version of the diletante feature: choose a 1st level at-will power from your class, use it once per encounter (very good if you multiclass...)
I'd go with A, because like erik_the_guy said, I'd prefer each class to have specialization feats designed specificaly for them (Plane Sailing has a threat about Heroic Callings that seems to wander into that direction)
