From the research I've done, I've concluded myself that Amon is not an Energybender.

Remember when Aang took away Ozai's bending? It was like a lazer lightshow. If it looked like that from the Avatar, it'd probably burn your eyes out from a non-bender.

If you look, you'll see Amon simply holds the head of the victim and applies pressure to some spots.

I think Amon simply has an extremely advanced form of Chi-blocking.

But it also states "If the bender's spirit is even slightly weak, or bendable, then they will be infected by the spirit of the one they are bending. As a result, the bender can be corrupted and even killed."

Maybe Amon was emotionally destressed after the horrific murder of his family, and destruction of his face. He tried energybending (It was stated anyone could do it, also), but it corrupted him. Instead of a peaceful approach, he now had visions of destroying all benders.

Amon is a very interesting character, and I will love seeing his progression throughout the series.
