I guess this is probably a new VS2012 feature, but you now can deploy Report Viewer (and the SQL Server CLR Types) with Forms / WPF click once installations.

1. Open the project properties page.
2. Click the Publish tab, and then click the Prerequisites button.
3. Select Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 Report Viewer, and SQL Server CLR Types then click OK.
4. Make sure that the Download prerequisites from the component vendor’s website option is checked. This is the only supported option. Then, click OK.

7. Click OK and publish the application.
