I find that, at level 59, while in instace groups, I spend the majority of my time in Defensive stance, switching to Berserk stance every so often to hit things with whirlwind or intercept. Gnollguy has pretty much got the basic tactical bits down, but I have to add that Shield Discipline is a very handy talent once you get to level 40. It turns shield bash into another massive aggro skill, in addition to its existing properties, and does surprisingly good damage (at my level, it's approximately equivalent to a low-end Thrash Blade swing -- 100-125ish damage).
Another bit of advice would be to find someone that can make and/or apply shield spikes, and get the best one you can find for the best shield you can find. It may not seem like much damage, but every little bit counts, and when you're spamming shield block, it really adds up after a while.
