Water and blood are NOT the same thing. Blood plasma is made mostly of water but blood plasma is only about 50% of blood. Not to mention the fact that it is such a mixed composite, it will likely make it much harder to control.

In Avatar, things are different. This is because the benders DO NOT control the classic elements of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, what they control are the 4 fundamental states of matter. Earth is solids, which is why they can bend any solid including metals. Wind is gas, it doesn't have to be the the Earth's atmosphere that we define as "air," it can be any gas. Water is liquid, and blood is a viscous liquid. Fire is plasma, which is why they can control lightning, cuz lightning is plasma. In classic terms, lightning is usually assocaited with wind but both fire and lightning are plasma.
