Most of these are great theories but I have some differring opinions.

Sozin started a new form of firebending that relied on anger as fuel hence the soldies at the bottom.

The thing you're calling a pedestal Azulon is standing on is a tortoise or turtle, something very defensive that lives in both land and water, in other words the success with the southern raiders and the fact that his army got all the way to Ba Sing Se and even broke through the outer walls. i.e. representing superioirity over water and earth.

Theres also some black smoke-stacks behind Ozai which could easily represent the advances in technology and industry. e.g. the warships and factories and that crazy drill and the war-balloons.
