Selection of ground fine/discing on touchdown

I am interested to hear the pros and cons of the best time to select Disc or the equivalent engine-prop setting on touchdown (on a multi-engine aircraft). Should one wait until fully de-rotated with nosewheel contact in case of one prop failing to fine off beyond flight idle pitch or is there a certification standard ensuring sufficient control in yaw using aerodynamic forces?
