Thank you all for your input. It answers my question very thouroghly. To give my own input, I believe it was Balrogs that eventually killed off the dwarves. This is because, in the FotR, Gandalf says that swords will not do them any good against a Balrog. So i feel that the dwarves had been fighting orcs for sometime, until they awoke the Balrogs.
