I don't know about the 3.3 spoilers as I haven't witnessed too many of them, but a Blue once said on the forums that the Lich King is simultaneously both Arthas and Ner'zhul, and yet neither of them. At the end of the Arthas novel, the way I took it was that when the Lich King killed the child Arthas, Arthas himself was no more at that point, and Ner'zhul then thought that he was in full control and the only one there, only to also die, again, making the Lich King equal parts neither of them.

So there's still just as much of Ner'zhul in the Lich King as there is of Arthas. It just gets less attention because there are very few people alive these days who are even aware of Ner'zhul, let alone that interacted with him prior to becoming the Lich King. Arthas on the other hand has a lot of people with a personal vendetta against him and was the face of the scourge even before becoming the Lich King due to Ner'zhul being locked in a block of ice.
