So is there any advice from some experienced instructors out there, that have been around the block a couple of times, or any horror stories that you will be willing to share?

You have exactly the right attitude for a MEI instructor, especially a new one: Scared.

Don't let it show but use that fear as a tool to keep you on your toes.

If you really start to lose it on a Vmc demo or engine cut and it's starting to rotate, pull BOTH engines to idle...now it's just like an ASEL and you already know how to handle that. The cut engine is not the one that's going to kill you, it's the one at full power...keep that in mind.
