No, nothing about Dwarven Thrower changes the way the Halberd is wielded. You would still need two hands to throw it.

A hungry longspear is a two-handed heavy thrown weapon.

I know we're talking about magical elves world here, but... it really isn't possible. It's not as much that halberds are not balanced. It's like 95% of entire point of the halberd that it's not balanced.
So with a lot of pain and groaning, and being threatened that my magic would be taken away from me - I might not kill the person who allows halberd to be effectively thrown, ever. But to throw it with one hand is...

And how many halbards have you encountered that have been magically enhanced with the ability to be thrown with reasonable accuracy despite their strange weight distribution?
It's not really a reasonable argument to go 'Hey, look, you can't be tossing halbards easily' when said halbard is something that has magic mojo that makes it so.
That said, I'd require two hands. Heavy thrown weapons do not have anything that overrides their two-handedness.
What heavy thrown does:
Makes it so that you can throw it as a ranged weapon
Makes it so that if you use it as a ranged weapon with ranged basic attack, you use Strength instead of Dexterity.
None of those change the handedness, so you cannot throw it like a javelin.
And reality, it seems, has heavy thrown objects that require two hands. Why would a halbard not be thrown like that?

It's certainly one, and valid, point of view on using "magic" in games. I guess we think of different things when the word comes up ;-)
