Beyond basic SOAP fuzzers there aren't too many advanced tools useful for pen testing of a WCF service. Since WCF/SOAP is really just a front for the underlying API you've written, you really need a tool to assess the vulnerabilities in your API, which is usually something of a custom nature.

There are tools out there like FxCop which have a very simple baseline for security analysis, but you can't rely on it entirely.

There's a great intro presentation on the OWASP site by Brian Holyfield about pen testing WCF services here: https://www.owasp.org/images/6/6c/Attacking_WCF_Web_Services-Brian_Holyfield.pdf. He lists a couple tools, but they aren't WCF/SOAP specific.
