Overweight Landings

Hi All,
In a large twin such as the 777, under what circumstances would you land overweight? To be more specific:
1) Engine fire after TKOF at MTOW. Fire is then extinguished. Dump or land overweight (all other factors favorable)?
2) Engine flame out at heavy weight. Land overweight just to save the fuel (all other factors favorable)?
3) Sick pax?
4) Do you have policies or recommendations from your airline?
Thanks in advance.
