"Tab-targeting" can be useful - you do your single-target abilities, but you try to use them on a different mob each time. Personally, I use Tidy Plates: Threat, with myself as a tank (making mobs I have aggro on have small, green nameplates, and ones I don't have large red ones). Mobs that are starting to pull off will have yellow nameplates, so you can target them and use a single target ability to get more threat. I'm not always fast enough, so sometimes I have to actually taunt, but it's pretty good. It's more precise, generally reactive rather than proactive, and less key-smacking than tab targeting, but tab targeting can be silly and target a mob in the next pack (annoying), or continually miss targeting some particular mob (resulting in you losing aggro anyway).
