All the firebenders you named were at least 40 years old (except for Azula who was noted as a firebending prodigy). Bumi has ahd over 100 years to master earth, and Toph is a freak of nature. Also, Korra has only had 17 years to master three elements, while in the South Pole, which lacks a lot of earth. Also, bending has obviously developed a lot since the first series, and although Korra was taught by masters, it seems common to use a more pro-bending style in Republic City.
