Not sure if this is the kind of thing you are thinking of and it isn't a ready-to-use end user application but at http://earthserver.bgs.ac.uk/clients/3d/glasgow_geology.html you can see a web client which uses the x3dom library (www.x3dom.org) and WebGL to show a WMS image (the top ground surface layer) draped on a DEM retrieved from a WCS. Well that isn't quite accurate; this version is getting the DEM data from a rasdaman (http://www.rasdaman.org/) WCPS as that allows us to specify a reduction in resolution of the source DEM for retrieval which WCS doesn't. However, we have used WCS (returning data as GML coverages) as well and it also works. This is using some early development code from https://github.com/PHerzig/EarthServer developed for the EarthServer http://earthserver.eu/ project. So this would be an option if you are happy doing some web page and Javascript programming to make something suitable for your own uses. It will get slow if you want to use high resolution DEMs. This requires a WebGL capable browser (and graphics card). I've used Firefox and Chrome, Internet Explorer 11 is supposed to be WebGL capable but I haven’t tested that yet.
