Note that Balin went off some 25-30 years before the Council of Elrond. Any chance that the Dwarves reconsidered the use of Rings between then and then? And were those that stayed with Dain (as opposed to those that went off with Balin) counted amongst 'the faithful' in that they chose not to attempt to secure wealth by unnatural means?
