The armor was supposed to be resistant against Chi-Blocking,not lighting.I say the armor is more of a holder for all those metal cords they keep on them,which also conducts electricity.It probably does provide some protection against chi-blocking.Also,a firebender can produce lightning when they have a clear head or at balance within themselves or something like that. A:TLA made most people assume that lightning benders were very few but maybe once the war ended,firebenders could be more at peace and be more able to bend lightning.As for the redirection thing, the technique was developed by Iroh, who taught it to Zuko, who taught to Aang.I don't think many people know about it so that could be why they don't use it.
