When I've done it, it depends on the tank and how they want to RP things. L'yhta, when she's out in front, relies on a combination of insults ("HEY SQUID FACE!", "I'm prettier than you now that you're dead!", "Hey! HEY! Look at me! Look at all the things I'm doing over here!" and the like) and magical trickery (i.e., Flash and Provoke). I've seen others go with the "I'm the biggest dude in the room, running in with an axe" strategy, the "I actively get in the way of people trying to get past me" strategy, or even the "I use physical or magical means to prevent you from getting past me" strategy.
And... sometimes, we just sort of handwave the whole thing if the tank doesn't want to go into it.
