I think that waterbenders can bend plants like wood and vines by adding some water to the plant they can control the water the plants absorb therefore clontrolling the plant. I dont think that it can be used one wooden furniture, but possible other life like organisms.

hama kinda demonstrate that with the plants she had mabye you can return life to a living organic as well. its also show that plants can be maniputated but not bend by the foggy swampbenders in the southwestern regions of the earth kingdom.

As for combustion mans ability to cause explosions focusing on a certain area... i dont think that this move should be reinveted during this era of avatar. Your living in a heavy populated area with thousands of people, large structures & (Possibly) Fuel powered Sato-mobiles. you can cause more harm then good in this case.

If there was an all out war situation such as te 100 year war or something like world war 2 sure, but for now I believe it be best to be a unknown skill. maybe the next generation could play around with that power.
