His voice is unchanged even with the helmet and glow until the ice moves up his body.

Arthas has no glow to his eyes before merging with the LK. The blue glow is from Ner'zhul, which carried over to Arthas when they merged.

so your saying the ice is causing the voice change?
bolvars eyes did not have the wispy/flamey effect before he put the helm on. yes they were yellow but, in my opinion, this was due to them being burned out. the color was there to identify his eyes were gone. after the helm is put on the wispy/flamey effect is applied to bolvars eyes just as they were to arthas' eyes. the only thing thats changed is that arthas' eyes were naturally blue and bolvars were yellow
While it certainly could be read as a Biblical allusion (there's a lot of lion and lamb imagery in there) I don't think he's referring to Stormwind so much as saying that he's like a lion in that he's a strong predator and the heroes are just lambs--defenseless. It's common imagery.
From a storytelling PoV, it's a very dramatic style showing the extreme close up of the eyes, them being the windows to the soul. For Arthas it was to show the extreme change he underwent by fusing with Ner'zhul that his eyes took on the characteristics of Ner'zhul's incorporeal form. Arthas having blue eyes and Bolvar having yellow is a visual representation of what a dramatic difference there is between Arthas and Bolvar. It's pretty good visual storytelling.

As the life was draining from his body and it didn't happen until a bit of time had passed.
I'd imagine that if he had succeeded in raising us as his new commanders, he would have easily wiped out any resistance to the scourge. After retaking Northrend (probably in very little time) he would continue raising Galakrond and the dragonflights. I doubt Deathwing would be much of a challenge for a Frostwyrmed Galakrond alone even after being empowered by N'Zoth. The Old God's mind games also seem to have no effect on the Lich King (ICC being built of Saronite and seemingly no effect on Arthas' state of mind) I don't think any force would have stood much chance if he had raised us, with the exception of the Titans of course.

Bolvar died at the wrath gate to the plague the Forsaken made, then his Body was Burnt By the Red dragonflight & alexstraza, which "purged" and resurected Bolvar and the ground around him even grows Flowers and plant life. There for one can assume if you will that Bolvars eyes are A Orange-yellow burnt eye socket's partly because of the Red Dragonlight's Life binding power and partly because of the Helmet Of the LK. Now if we assume that the Helmet is Void of "Ner'zhul's spirit- LK" then why would Bolvar have to encase himself in the ice part of the frozen throne in the first place? Now you might answer "because he has to contain the scourge threat" !, But if the spirit of Ner'zhul -lk is compeletly dead and gone, would'nt his Mental-Physic Control over the scourge also have "gone with him". Therefor there would be No more scourge "alive" and with no threat that brings me back to my point of why bolvar would Encase himself in the frozen throne.
It's possible Bolvar encased himself in ice as a cocoon so he could acclimate to his new power and dedicate all his concentration to controlling the Scourge. He is completely unfamiliar with this kind of power.
This is completely wrong. It is explicitly stated that when the LK's control weakens/disappears, the Scourge run rampant. They don't just die off.
KJ is only an eredar empowered by Sargeras with fel magics. Velen is a eredar empowered by Naaru with the "Light". We still dont know just how strong some Naaru are, but I would be willing to think that Velen is equal to KJ as well as Arch in power. People seem to think KJ is some super powerful being that is the 2nd strongest only to Sargeras himself but the story is a little different. KJ has strong magics. Archimonde was stronger physically though. That is why he lead the armies of the legion. We have beaten Arhc, be it hundread to thousands of whisp blowing him up, but he is still "dead"(I'm sure hell be back int he future). Kil'jaden is no different. If the combine powers of Orcs, Humans, and Night elves can beat Arhcimonde and his minions, I see no reason why The Lich King and his scourge cant beat KJ.
Also, We have no clue is the Burning Legion is the strongest army in the universe. The Titans army could be stronger considering it helped stop the demons in the first place. We also do not know about the old gods so called "endless" army that has been talked about that is still in the Twisting Nether somewhere. In the end the Legion is stronger as a whole then the Scourge though, but we will have to wait and see which army out of the previously mentioned is the best.
