If you're looking at the IVSI at the 20 foot point you're in BIG trouble.
In practice, the rate of call-out of 30, 20, and 10 feet is my best guide to a good landing. It works for me.

Assuming that the time between 30-20-10 callouts are in the region of 1 second, that would lead to a 600fpm descent.
(10ft -> 1 sec, so
?ft -> 60 sec (1 minute)
?ft = 10*60 = 600fpm.
You should, however, expect the rate of descent to decrease to about 300fpm during the flare.

Wind, gradient etc ignored, a good 777 landing can be very mechanical.
When u hear '30' feet rad alt, check back 2° pitch at a rate of 1° per second, and close the T/L's either as you hear 10ft, or as you feel your approach flatten out over the runway.
While I accept that this method does not for one second promise a 'gresser' everytime, it will at least give you safe consistent landings to progress from...
