dont generalize amon as the common power hungry world domination type. he wanted to imrpove the status of non benders. in the show its been demonstrated how easily benders can impose thier thier power on non benders. non benders were rounded it like cattle and thier rights were denied, also most of the people of athority are benders. the gangs in reuplublic city all exploit bending and nonbenders are easy targets for extortion, we even see mako threatining to burn an equalist with a fire ball if he didnt give info on korra. amon as a kid was forcibly exposed to only the dark potential of bending. he could no longer see the good in it. so he try to do somethng about it. yes he was a bender but he acomplished a great deal without his beending. i would rank him has one of the best hand to hand fighters in the avatar universe. and if he wasnt a bender he would be able to seal bending and the only other option would be to kill benders.
