I think the convention is that when referring to the actual, real-life people "dwarfs" is preffered to "dwarves."
Emulating Tolkien, I use Dwarves and Dwarven in fantasy contexts. It should be noted that Tolkien was himself an English Professor of some note and repute, so he presumably knew what he was doing.

dwarf is the singular,
dwarves is the plural,
dwarven in the adjective,
simple as that.

To add to this, in astronomical context, it's "white dwarfs", not "white dwarves". Same for other types of tiny (sub-)stars. But in a fantasy context, I would go with "dwarves" due to my following the Tolkienian creed
