I usually play with many mods, and I configured Balrogs to spawn in the nether. Then, I went to the nether with an AK47 (survival mode) and killed one no problem. Melee fighting them is of course, very difficult, but ranged combat agianst them makes them easy. Melee fighting may turn easy, when you have some dwarven-level enchanted gear, strenght and regen buffs (athelas brew) and a pike/spear/battlestaff/any other polearm. The wither can make quick work of a balrog. I think that balrogs should be stronger than the wither boss, or atleast about the same strenght. Making them a boss mob, rather than just a normal powerful mob, seems a good idea to me now, and I see that most people voting on the poll think the same.
