Possession of the best smeltery ovens and scrap gear doesn't allow these orcs to smelt, smith and craft dwarven level equipment. No way. Operation of smelteries is a craft in itself and requires mastery at various levels. Same holds for forging and smithing steel.

Yes, but when Sauron sends his Uruks, he likely sends some smiths with him. The gear of the orcs of Moria was said to be better even that that of the Black Uruks of Mordor... Which would put it higher than dwarven level, but let's not go that far. And as many other suggestions point out, faction armors made with certain materials should have the same protection as other sets made with those materials. Durability is the variation.

As for the Troll-caves: Caves, my friend. Cave systems would expose these.

That was going off a combination of statements and mod stats. Moria Orc armor would be of dwarven strength but less durable.
