In line with Albatross' comments, I'd say that 12 to 15 deg nose up is about normal on light wind days.

I can't help feeling that your question has arisen because you've come across one of the not uncommon pilots in the 92 world who try to turn the 10deg tail strike limit into "thou shall not ever flare to the hover above 10degs". IMHO this is a totally unsafe way to operate the 92 as it results in a needlessly slow transition from a safe flyaway speed to a hover over the deck.
