After he learned the forms, Zuko more than held his own against Azula several times when she went specifically for him. He asked Katara for back up because you can never be too careful, especially against someone like Azula. And neither of them were as powerful as Ozai was, and I know this because we saw all 3 bend under the same comet. I believe both would eventually surpass Ozai, but at that point they hadn't done it yet. So while blue fire was a big advantage for Azula, there were plenty of powerful firebenders who didn't need to rely on things like blue fire.
