With regards the list you used I can only really echo other peoples comments, it is a bit light on activations for a Tau army which should really be aiming for about 4 activations for each 1000 pts.
Also the Hammerhead formation is really intended as a support formation in the main Tau list and so many points invested in three big formations of them is probably not playing to the lists strengths. Although as your meta seems very war engine and RA armoured vehicle heavy I can see why you might go that route.
Personally at 4000 pts I use.
Mech Fire Warrior Cadre + Bonded Team + Skyray, Pts = 350
Mech Fire Warrior Cadre + Skyray, Pts = 325
Mech Fire Warrior Cadre + Skyray, Pts = 325
Mech Fire Warrior Cadre + Skyray, Pts = 325
Battlesuit Cadre + Crisis + Shas’O, Pts = 400
Battlesuit Cadre, Pts = 250
Broadside Group, Pts = 300
Broadside Group, Pts = 300
Armour Support Group, Pts = 200
Armour Support Group, Pts = 200
Pathfinder Group, Pts = 200
Recon Support Group, Pts = 175
Recon Support Group, Pts = 175
Recon Support Group, Pts = 175
Barracuda Squadron, Pts = 150
Orca Dropship, Pts = 150
With regards your specific ideas for the list I think the 100 pts scout / markerlight formation is definately abusable.
However the idea of disrupt on Railguns is much more interesting and might be a viable idea, however it would require I think quite a bit of testing and would certainly require some points changes and maybe a seperation of the Ion and Rail variant Hammerheads out into seperatly costed formations (not necessarily a bad thing).
