I think it's supposed to be a reference to her personality. I doubt Zuko and/or Aang could teach the old style of firebending without people becoming suspicious of how they learned it, so Korra probably uses the style that relies on anger. The animation in TLOK is much better than in ATLA, so I can see why they'd want to focus on more agressive fighting (I don't think I've seen a single bender fight defensively since TLOK started), as it makes the action much more exciting for kids, which is this show's main audience. I do hope we get to see more waterbending, because it wasn't shown off much in ATLA, but I'd prefer airbending, as it was definitely shown the least, since only one character was able to do it and he didn't vary his moves that much.
