it was the Balrogs that did that city in.

So the Elves couldn't save their city from Balrogs and now you're ragging on the Dwarves who couldn't save Khazad Dum from Balrogs either. That hardly seems fair!

Turin got rid of the main Dragon for them...what else do they want? :)

Elves fled their city when attacked by multiple Balrogs, Dragons, and hordes of Orcs. Plus, Maeglin showed the bad guys the way in. Dwarves fled from.... one Balrog. Heck, there have been Elves who defeated Balrogs in single combat! True, they all died themselves doing it, but the point is, Elves are much cooler than Dwarves.
