The dwarves were on a mission of their own interests. Gandalf only helped them at times because he suggested Bilbo and really wanted Smaug out of the picture - he would've proved to be a strong tool for Sauron. Gandalf had things he *had* to attend to - much more important things. Gandalf did stick out the Battle of the Five Armies. At Helm's Deep, had Gandalf not left and retrieved Erkenbrand and his troops, it's not certain Rohan would've won that battle.
