Angels 60,

This will not work, assuming this happens during/just after takeoff. Here's why:
1 You cannot pull the power back as you need all power available, especially when your aircraft is heavy. So, in your case when you do pull the power back, you are not going to climb and with many twins you will probably descend (..and the subsequent results).
2 Some twins need autofeather. For example the Beech 1900. After engine failure and getting control of the aircraft, first thing you want to check if the autofeather kicked in or not. If not, then manual feather. Piston twins perform worse.
3 You do not have time in your mentioned case to properly determine which engine failed en which throttle to cut. Changes are that you would chop the live engine.
I understand what you're saying but there's simply not enough time to react and not enough performance.
cheers
