The only thing I really believe that makes smithing overpowered, is the potency of the perks. They scale in such a manner, that low-level, the perks are nearly worthless, but higher level, they throw the difficulty curve for a loop. The base skill, while certainly strong, is not overpowered in my opinion.
I'm not exactly sure what would solve the issue, without removing a lot of the viability of perking smithing.
