I believe all of you are wrong. It specifically states in the book that the dwarves dug so deep, that they awoke the Balrog or possibly even Balrogs. So, the Balrog(S) could have killed some dwarves, and when the dwarves were no longer a threat, the orcs moved in. Note: Balrogs are Maia, or beings sent ny the Valar.
