Fire may be more powerful as energy than water, but fire is also notoriously difficult to control. Which is why Jeong Jeong envied Katara's healing ability, and of all the Firebenders we've seen, Jeong Jeong seems to have the most temperance in his control of it.

Water may not have the sheer concentrated energy that fire does, but it is also fluid, and therefore much easier to control than fire. For the delicate work of healing, water is much better.

Trying to use fire to heal would be like trying to use a sledgehammer to peel a grape.
