I'm not sure why the CA decided to just take the power levers and not the aircraft. By taking part of the aircraft, he severely limited the FOs feel for the aircraft and prevented the FO from identifying the cause of the roll. I realize this is not the point of your post but I think it is an excellent example of poor CRM.
The FO obviously realized the action was non-standard and did not speak up. I think if the FO had offered the CA the aircraft the situation and outcome would have been different. Not because the FO was incapable or incompetent, but because the CA was uncomfortable in his new position.
There were certainly compounding factors, but I think this one factor was the final nail in the coffin.
