I like an "at most seven" of Balrogs.

A metaphorical wing of Balrogs, rather. Clunky and a wee bit confusing, sure, but lore-accurate! (IMHO.) Or we could go with the more conciliatory debatable wing of Balrogs.

An aviary of Balrogs? (Sounds charming!)

Speaking of charming, how about a group of Hobbits?

A fluff of hobbits.

I support a dread of Balrogs.

EDIT: Oh, and before anybody asks, a group of dwarves is called a grumble.

A smorgasbord of Hobbits!

For Elves, may I propose a snobbery, or perhaps a waft of Elves.
