Here's a pretty simple solution for WC >2.4 that avoids rewriting functions and cluttering up your functions.php..

Add the variable.php file to your theme (http://docs.woothemes.com/document/template-structure/), and change this (from line 27):

 $options ) : ?>

    
    
        get_variation_default_attribute( $attribute_name );
            wc_dropdown_variation_attribute_options( array( 'options' => $options, 'attribute' => $attribute_name, 'product' => $product, 'selected' => $selected ) );
            echo end( $attribute_keys ) === $attribute_name ? '' . __( 'Clear selection', 'woocommerce' ) . '' : '';
        ?>
    

to this:

 $options ) : 
    ob_start(); ?>
    
        
        
            get_variation_default_attribute( $attribute_name );
            wc_dropdown_variation_attribute_options( array( 'options' => $options, 'attribute' => $attribute_name, 'product' => $product, 'selected' => $selected ) );
            echo end( $attribute_keys ) === $attribute_name ? '' . __( 'Clear selection', 'woocommerce' ) . '' : ''; ?>
        
    
     $ob) {
    echo str_ireplace('choose an option', 'Choose '.$name, $ob );
} ?>

This will replace 'Choose an option' with 'Choose Size', 'Choose Colour' etc. depending on the name of your attribute.
