It may be that too much is made of the Nauglamir incident, at least in its implications about dwarfish nature. At this point the dwarves and Thingol were both caught up in the fate of the Noldor and the Silmarils, and succumbed to their baser instincts. And only one of the two dwarf cities (Nogrod or Belegost - I forget which)participated in the attack on Doriath: the other refused to participate.
