How so? The full moon restriction would prevent you from using it most of the time. And if you did get a chance to strike them during the full moon, you had better really take advantage of that chance because the Equalists are smart and would likely learn from it. That, and your next chance wouldn't be for like another month at least.

While it would likely be devastating if used in a large scale attack or some other extremely important mission against them, bloodbending would mostly be irrelevant. And after the first exposure, the Equalists would be able to plan for it. They could either learn to stay out of harms way and hide in the shadows (like before) until the full moon passes, or they could figure a way to counter it. After all, they found ways to counter benders and the metalbender cops. They could conceivably find a way to take advantage of a weakness of bloodbending.
