How to consume a WCF service with SSRS 2008 R2

Question

Are there any good tutorials available for querying for WCF services from within SSRS?

My WCF service is running fine, but when I try to query it from SSRS, I get contract mismatch exceptions. Some Googling suggests that querying WCF services in SSRS 2008 R2 is possible, but there doesn't seem to be any good documentation available. Help!

It took a while but I got it done! A lot of blog posts were helpful but not end-to-end, so in the spirit of paying it forward, here's my blog post to walk through the process.
