Player refusing to approach you

Give him a chance to see sense if not yellow number two, bye bye

Here's one - you give a free kick or a corner. A nothing decision but a player starts mouthing off about it, yelling and telling you its the worst decision ever etc. Its not OFFINABUS so no red but you go yellow for dissent (assuming you're in a league/nation with no sin bins).

THEN the player refuses to join you for the caution - does that affect your call? We still going second yellow? Two yellows for dissent over the same incident (admittedly a different moment).

“Fella, at the moment it’s going to be yellow, but if you don’t come here it’ll be red. Your choice.”

Put the onus on him.

If he doesn’t come to you, I would then issue two yellows - two separate incidents of dissent: the initial mouthing off; not coming to you is second incidence of of dissent, albeit only a very short time after the first, but still a discrete separate incidence of dissent.

This exactly, and it relates to the Cole clip as well. If you're going to bang out a double-yellow for something like that, engineer a situation whereby the 10-person team is directing their resulting anger at the stupid teammate who ignored a clear warning or his captain who failed to get him to behave. NOT at the "officious" referee who made a big deal out of the player facing the wrong way during a booking

easy way for the player to get a second yellow

Exactly that, and say it loud enough so that everyone on the pitch knows what is happening. Including his captain and manager as if they can see their player is about to be sent off they can only blame themselves if the inevitable happens and they did nothing to improve his behaviour.
