Toph learns to sandbend much better later on but it isn't used in combat much after the sandbenders leave the series for good. Although I agree with what you are saying for the most part. One thing I think you might not realize is there were times when earth benders would tunnel through the ground at high speeds or stick a person partially into the ground so it's not like it's strictly speaking limited to rock. Although, I must admit I would have liked to see a few more occassions where crystals, sandbending, and ground based attacks were used instead of a few of the generic rock based moves most earthbenders seemed to use. As for the dangerous materials: I think you need a new hobby ;)
