This version of Lord Uther's spirit is encountered in the Halls of Reflection.

He appears when Jaina or Sylvanas attempt to commune with the spirits trapped inside Frostmourne.

He also appears when a player brings a Tempered Quel'Delar into Frostmourne's presence.

Now here the lore gets dicey. This instance would seem to indicate that Uther's soul was taken by Frostmourne when Arthas killed him. However, there is a level 58 Horde quest (Defiling Uther's Tomb) from the Bulwark in Tirisfal Glades where a blood elven former student of Uther's (Mehlar Dawnblade) seeks revenge for Uther training Arthas, who of course went on to destroy Silvermoon City and The Sunwell. When you go to Uther's Tomb just south of Andorhal to defile it, his spirit appears to you. Now, if Frostmourne consumed Uther's soul, what is it also doing at his tomb? Seems Blizzard overlooked this little detail in the patch.

EDIT: There is also an Alliance quest involving Uther's tomb and an appearance by his spirit there, essentially the companion quest to the Horde one mentioned above.

Arthas doesn't have to stand over the person's corpse with his sword outstretched in order to take their soul, Frostmourne can steal a soul as he is killing the person.

In the book he doesnt take Uther's soul and add it to the souls within Frostmourne, It could simply be that the presence of Frostmourne and Jaina is allowing his Ghost to be seen to warn us, It would seem that blizzard doesnt want to keep up with their own lore though if his spirit is one of the ones that comes directly out of the sword.....

This is indeeed tricky, he was after all a free spirit before the invasion who is shown by the quests mentions so it could be two things.

His spirit is inside frostmourne, who was consumed(which means quest before is retconned)

He is a free spirit who been looking over frostmourne in the spirit world(he is with the light now), and warns jaina/sylvannas then they mix with frostmourne who he sense from the ripples of the spirit world this creates He is then either banished from citadell or lich king now consumes his soul(Which is possible now, due he is not protected by the light so he is vulnerable). Then we kill lich king he is one of the souls released(same thing in first scenario).

Voiced by Michael McConnohie, awesome voice actor. He's done tons of other voice acting for WoW, WC3, Diablo 2 and crap loads of other games.
Ironically also does the voice for the Lich King. He must be a fav voice actor for Blizzard. :P

Uther the Lightbringer yells: Do you realize what you've done?
Uther the Lightbringer says: A grand sacrifice by a noble soul...
Uther the Lightbringer says: Alas, the only way to defeat the Lich King is to destroy him at the place where he was created.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Aye. ARRRRRRGHHHH... He... He is coming. You... You must...
Uther the Lightbringer says: Careful, girl. I've heard talk of that cursed blade saving us before. Look around you and see what has been born of Frostmourne.
Uther the Lightbringer says: I can resist Frostmourne's call no more...
Uther the Lightbringer says: I do not know, Banshee Queen. I suspect that the piece of Arthas that might be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the Scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
Uther the Lightbringer says: I do not know, Jaina. I suspect that the piece of Arthas that might be left inside the Lich King is all that holds the Scourge from annihilating Azeroth.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Jaina! Could it truly be you?
Uther the Lightbringer says: Jaina, listen to me. You must destroy the Lich King. You cannot reason with him. He will kill you and your allies and raise you all as powerful soldiers of the Scourge.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Jaina, you haven't much time. The Lich King sees what the sword sees. He will be here shortly.
Uther the Lightbringer says: No, girl. Arthas is not here. Arthas is merely a presence within the Lich King's mind. A dwindling presence...
Uther the Lightbringer says: No, Jaina! ARRRRRRGHHHH... He... He is coming. You... You must...
Uther the Lightbringer says: Perhaps, but know this: there must always be a Lich King. Even if you were to strike down Arthas, another would have to take his place, for without the control of the Lich King, the Scourge would wash over this world like locusts, destroying all that they touched.
Uther the Lightbringer says: Snap out of it, girl. You must destroy the Lich King at the place where he merged with Ner'zhul - atop the spire, at the Frozen Throne. It is the only way.
Uther the Lightbringer says: There is only one way to cleanse this sword. Make haste for the Sunwell and immerse the blade in its waters.
Uther the Lightbringer says: There is... something else that you should know about the Lich King. Control over the Scourge must never be lost. Even if you were to strike down the Lich King, another would have to take his place. For without the control of its master, the Scourge would run rampant across the world - destroying all living things.
Uther the Lightbringer says: You cannot defeat the Lich King. Not here. You would be a fool to try. He will kill those that follow you and raise them as powerful soldiers of the Scourge. But for you, Sylvanas, his reward for you would be worse than the last.
Uther the Lightbringer says: You have forged this blade from saronite, the very blood of an old god. The power of the Lich King calls to this weapon.
Uther the Lightbringer says: You haven't much time. The Lich King sees what the sword sees. He will be here shortly.
