Burning Legion vs Scourge

If you want to learn more about the Eredar, and the Legion, I would actually suggest Rise of the Horde over War of the Ancients, but both help you understand it better.

War of the Ancient imo gives a more overall picture of the Legions army, how it fights etc, while the Rise of the Horde certainly gives alot more to understand how the legion works, thinks etc. Both books are important though imo. And as mentioned before Shadows and Light and Manual of Monsters are also very good for info on individual characters and what powerlevel they operate on.

A side question, Is the current lich king as powerful as the previous one? I mean Ner'Zhul was transformed into his state by Kil'Jaeden so what exactly happened to the current lich king in terms of a power boost if any?

It's unknown, I think. The current Lich King is probably weaker if anything, since Frostmourne got destroyed.

Ok so rise of the horde and ancients.

Also as Glory said, lack of Frostmourne may be a weak point although I was under the impression that the helm of dominance was where the main power was and based on appearances alone, I would imagine Bolvar is far stronger than Arthas. I would not be surprised if what has happened does not benefit the LK in some way.
