Sk76, AW139 Takeoff calls

Greetings,

Looking for some information on medium twin (or heavy helicopter)callouts for takeoff, missed approach IFR flying. Prefer to hear from reputable US Part 135 operators just since that's where I operate but International Offshore touring pilots would be nice to hear from also. PM me if you'd like since I have some more questions also. With fixed wing jets we brief everything, here is an example and I'm wondering if it applies the the helicopter side.
This will be a IFR/VFR takeoff
Standard calls (takeoff power set, all 3 airspeeds alive x check, no flags)
Anything before 70kts we stop
After 70kts (but before v1) only stopping for engine failure/fire, masters warning
If engine failure after V1 I'll fly rwy heading, call Vr, +rate, gear up, bug V2
Calls V1, Vr, positive rate, gear up, V2+10 flaps up
MSA for Kxxx is 3000'
CSHELL 5 Departure climb and maintain 5000'
Any questions?

Thanks!
