If you're playing full tank Cho and your squishies are dieing rather quickly, you're doing it wrong.
In teamfights I initiate with a good Q and W, then I wander back to protect my squishies. I R any assassins or offtanks that get close to them, and I try to *hug* my squishies so the enemy cannot attack them (hopefully you have 6 stacks. This is rather easier than you think). Because I have 40% cooldown reduction (masteries, Ionian Boots of Lucidity, Frozen Heart) I can easily run another Q or W. I've been trying to get rid of the Ionian Boots but that's not really possible until I get CDR runes. All of this hugging and Q+W+R can easily prevent them from getting my carries (and sometimes I even have a Frozen Heart + Randuin's...ha ha slow attack speed). Occasionally I may grab a Sunfire Cape to damage the assassins of my squishies even more.
This is so much easier to do with Cho'Gath than Leona. Leona...E in, Q to stun, then ult the enemy team. I'm probably doing it wrong but I've always done it like this. However this obviously, after the initial burst, makes the enemy team ignore me quite easily. Leona can't "block" your carries, nor can she do a tremendous amount of damage (Feast ftw). All she can do is stun a little bit on the assassin (hurray for Cho'Gath's abilities not really being reduced by Tenacity).
This has always been successful for me. I really oughta play Cho'Gath more but everyone keeps on taking top lane.
