definitely [/I]you should show Sauron. Remember how he always looked down at you, bossing you around, even though you are definitely as strong, no, stronger than him? It should have been you to be Melkor's right hand, not him. You would have done better, with you in his place, you would have won against the Valar! Let's pay him back for destroying your life! ..."

You forgot one big one "be greater than Gothmog" (i.e. his superior). Add on possibly get back at the above (depending on when the Balrog fled to under the mountain, he may or may not be aware that 1. Gothmog is dead and 2. He is the last Balrog left.) if he thinks that Gothmog and the rest of the Balrogs are still around the idea of something that, in a pinch could protect him from thier wrath (he is a deserter, after all).
Now I', beginning to wonder if the ring could offer anything to tempt the watcher. what could it offer him/her (control of all the oceans, an infinite supply of fish?) could it tempt the watcher (the wather is evil, but I'm not sure if it's sentient.)
