I’d recommend a different approach to your load testing plan. Add a wsHttpBinding endpoint to your services and use something like this free tool to do the load testing over HTTP instead of TCP. The netTcpBinding will virtually always be faster than the HTTP based bindings but not nearly as dramatically as you’d think and probably not enough to make your load test results inaccurate.
With the HTTP based load tests you’ll have more options for tools to use. Remember that you are trying to determine the performance profile of your code not the WCF framework itself. You’ll still want to do some results validation with the netTcpBinding using something along the lines of what @PeytonCrow mentions in his comment to the question.
