Hi Corrik, let me help you out since aren't very familiar with the Lich King, it is no trouble at all.

First off the Lich King is indeed not fleet of foot, he's more of a classical tank than a dodging type of guy. A few problems with what you've said though is the fact that he actually has plenty of feats, considering his name is Arthas and Arthas has quite a few feats. If you would like to argue that Arthas got weaker when he became the Lich King, I can refer you to about 80 in game quests, 2 novels, and 5 cinematic scenes where this does not appear to be the case.

Next up Arthas, as a death knight, makes use of death knight skills which include being able to strangulate a person (think force choke) death grip (think force pull) as well as the ability to use magical abilities of frost and disease to cripple and wound his enemies. Arthas' magical ability is quite strong, which makes sense given half of his being used to be a very powerful shaman.

Also piercing that armor by conventional means may be harder than you would imagine and it might mean less than you might think. Arthas' two big pieces of armor is the helm of domination (crafted by Kil'Jaeden, a person whose magical ability might just solo this match given his lore hype recentally) and Frostmourne itself. If you are in melee range of Arthas you are very likely dead already due to his ability to CC at close range. Something your melee heavy team has no knowledge of at all.

His global threat comes from controlling the scourge, but he doesn't need them to be incredibly deadly and powerful. Arthas is also the only end game enemy in WoW thus far where the players straight up lost to him.
