I have to strongly agree with mormegil. If Feanor had avoided the balrogs, he would have run right to face Morgoth. And got killed. Morgoth would have been wounded, too, but not slayed. Remember the Fingolfin vs. Morgoth's outcome.
I cannot see any else possible alternative history. Of course, all the events would have run in a different way, if Feanor had been less harsh, and more calm. But that Feanor is not the Feanor we all know (and love?).
