Just to stoke the already raging fires here...
I'm not convinced that what Tolkien said about the Balrog not speaking in that particular instance at the Bridge meant that Balrogs could not speak at all. (Although I'm open to suggestions about it.)
The wings business is seemingly permanently up for debate.
You overlooked the Dragon's spell from their eyes, and the size of a Dragon's tail. It would probably have greater reach than a Balrog's whip, but obviously be rather unwieldy.
