Dain was certainly quick to give the Iron Hills up.
I don't believe they were given up on. I don't recall where it is said that all dwarves of the Iron Hills moved to Erebor. I can fully understand his moving the Kingship there, however. Even though Khazad-Dûm was the ancestral home of the Longbeards, Erebor seems to have been a magnificent kingdom, with an impressive physical appearance, and close proximity to trade centres.

Incidentally, does Dáin wield an axe in the War of the Ring? What happened to the mattock? I like those, they were so hardcore!
