Bangladesh Biman had this very problem years ago at Singapore (Paya Lebar) wherein...
Light weight due to short flight (KUL) and minimum fuel load.
Gusting winds.

Rapid rotation followed by extremely high pitch attitude resulted in engines flaming out (tank ports uncovered) and the aircraft crashed near the airport boundry.

Best idea, stick to normal rotation technique, limit body angle to the max allowed for type, and accept the speed that follows.

Less grief this way...
