I wouldn't go so far as to say it was arrogance that kept Kuruk from his duties - rather, he was a bit of a slacker. He said himself that "people seemed to work out their own problems." Korra is also slacking a little bit, but for different reasons. She's always been a physically talented bender, and she revels in the fight of it, but the spiritual side escapes her so she doesn't try as hard in that aspect. I personally think she's been a bit caught up in the pro-bending, but after this last episode, she might straighten up and start working.
