The switch from the panel to looking outside can be one of the

Very true

You need to "glance out" just prior to DH to prevent busting
altitude


What constitutes "busting altitude" on an approach with a "DH"?

The PIC stays on the gauges while the second pilot calls watches
for land, and may call for speeds and altitudes. That lease the
PIC as just flying the gauges with the other set of eyes looking
outside.


This is not written in stone. There are many different " flying
and looking" schemes in use by various operators. "PIC" should not
be used when in fact, "pilot flying" is meant.
