If I get a sudden positive shear causing the a/c to ballon high I will immediatly lower the nose to keep the path AND reduce thrust to check the speed. All within acceptable limits depending on the altitude above the runway. ( We don't want to go shoving the nose forward at low levels!!! )
This has happened in all the types I've flown including the A330, you might think it won't change the pitch but it does.
I agree though, you do both at the same time to achieve the performance result. But you must get the basics correct in your head first.
I'll say it again, the 777 isn't only trimmed for speed, the FBW compensates for configuration AND thrust changes. Nice piece of kit and to my mind way way better than the A330.
