I'm coming into this rather late, and I don't really have anything to contribute, but I would like to say that I do like the idea of dwarves being their own worst enemies. It makes a great deal of sense, on many levels.

Please explain, because for some reason I don't see the sense in it.

As a race, the Dwarves are the odd man out, since they were not in Illuvatar's originally expressed plan for the world. As the "Other" race, they are rather separate from the original Children of Illuvatar; the system of parallels that can be applied to Elves and Men doesn't fit the Dwarves because they stand apart from the other races in terms of their origin.
