I believe working in tandem did the Witch King in, with Merry's blow being the one which actually inflicted the most damage.

In response to one of the questions in the original post, I would say the Witch King did not think he was battling an Elf or a Dwarf because of the gear and war paraphanalia he saw about the group he was fighting. He heard the horns of Rohan blowing and left the gate, and he had already discomfited Theoden's guard and was reversing the fortunes of battle. So all in all, I believe he just assumed it was Men in the group of Rohan, and that would normally be a safe assumption to make.
