Agreed!
var itemToLearn = DotNetTechnologies
.Where(o => !o.IsKnown)
.OrderByDescending(o => o.Usefullness)
.ThenByDescending(o => o.Awesomeness)

Assert(itemToLearn == Linq);

I hate how much I love working in perl. It's no C++, and I wouldn't recommend it aside from being flip. But damn it sure does make hard stuff trivial.

I've been working with ASP.NET MVC for a few years and it's definitely a step up from WebForms.
I'd agree with what another poster said here though: look into JS frameworks like Knockout (my preference) or AngularJS. Microsoft's Web API is also pretty good for AJAX applications.
I'm placing a bet on Apple's Swift language becoming very popular too, go planning to get (what's left of) my teeth stuck into that sometime soon.
I think mobile development kind of goes hand-in-hand with web development in a lot of ways.

I used to enjoy surfing, with real water and waves and sand. You could get some skill in that in a few months.
And it's more interesting that doing .NET stuff.

Learn what you have a chance of using.
If you’re not going to use something you will forget it as fast as you learnt it.

Definitelly MVC. You can learn some side technologies along with it, like LINQ and WCF.
But really go with MVC, you have no idea of how takes the pain out of web development like in WebForms.

I'd focus on something that fits with what you already know so that you can be more versatile. Of your list, mobile probably fits that best.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Are you interested in anything from the past?
For instance, in the past, I've been curious to learn F# just to see what the excitement is all about.

MVC and WCF are both worth knowing because there are lots of projects that still use them that you may have to support.
However, most new projects that I have worked on (including my own) have replaced MVC with Web API + a JS framework (AngularJS, Knockout, Durandal, etc).
Also, people tend to favor Web API over WCF (when possible).
So I would suggest that you learn Web API followed by AngularJS. (I actually prefer Durandal over Angular, but Angular has way more traction and the lead developer of Durandal has been sucked into the Angular team).
It is also worth noting that most of what you learn from Web API will carry over to MVC, as MVC controllers look almost identical to Web API controllers. So all you will have left to learn about in MVC is Views (which are very intuitive, IMO).
