1. If we increase the default protection of Mithril to being better than diamond, the armor bar would probably have to be extended to show more levels.

2. As well, the crafting recipe for Mithril should have to be made more difficult. In my opinion, Mithril should be made even rarer than it already is, and require more than just mining, smelting, and crafting. As well, maybe the areas it can be found in should be confined to being closer to Moria, and maybe also very rare amounts of it found in Erebor and Numeanorean islands (I checked the lotr wiki, it says that "there are inconclusive indications that it may also have been found in Númenor, the Lonely Mountain and Aman in smaller quantities").

3. Really, the best idea would be to make Mithril only acquireable through looting and trading with dwarves.
