1 Minecraft block is equal to 100 centimeters. (~3 &1/3 feet). The player is 185 Pixels high. That's 185 centimeters. 185 centimeters = ~6 feet. Twice that is 12 feet / 360 centimeters. 3.6 blocks isn't too bad for a Balrog. In The Atlas of Middle-Earth by Karen Wynn Fonstad, she claims that Smaug was 18 meters long (59 ft) but it is unknown is it is canon or not. First Age dragons are said to be larger than Smaug, but size is not known (other than Ancalagon, who was massive) But for now, I'm rolling with 18 meters. A 12-foot Maiar riding a 59-foot dragon isn't too out of proportion.

But on the skin matter: The current Balrog skin seems very temporary to me. The skin 100% needs a revamp, as well as the mob size to accurately place the world of LOTR inside of Minecraft.
