Looks like Project Onyx is my ticket. The latest version allows you pipe PowerCLI (which is what all my current automation uses) into Onyx which then spits out the raw SOAP calls. That's pretty much perfect. I can run some of my scripts and then just copy/paste the SOAP calls with the variables inserted. Thanks again, Project Onyx is perfect for my needs. VMware Project Onyx
It doesn't seem to be compatible with PowerCLI 5.8 but hopefully 5.5 works.
