azazel may have unique abilities but with the exception of meg and crowley he has the greatest screen time of any demon, alot less than lilith who appeared in four episodes. liliths white light didn't kill anyone in the station it just blew the station apart. she actually flayed the people slowly with her mind, which seems more sadistic than bleeding them out like azazel did. also demons seem to be naturally stronger than reapers (who are coporeal seeing as alastair can grap them in a vessel) so its possible other demons can do the same. he also states to john that he cant heal dean but "knows someone who can" implying either all demons do this when they heal people or only he can't heal them alone. he has never erased memories in the course of the show and he still needs to make a deal to alter reality or resurrecting someone. azazels blood doesn't give them powers it just awakens them and sam wasn't rejecting them when he attempted them on lilith, he was embracing them. and though ava and jake advanced quickly so did sam when he accepted his powers after azazel was dead so it makes very little difference whether he was alive or not. really ruby made it so sam could kill lilith as she gave him more blood and trained him. azazel is described as hell's tyrant after the master plan was thought up. seeing as azazel was the one who thought up a method of bringing back lucifer (their father) it makes sense that he would have more authority as he is offering a solution to bringing back their god, before the master plan there is nothing to suggest either was a ruler of hell. lilith wouldn't really want to rise against azazel as she wants the apocolapse so the world will burn. the fact lilith took over only shows that she had a part in azazels plan as she was the only one who could break the seals. i think the my army comment was him being general as there were hundreds of demons and that was a distaction anyway as freeing lilith was the main point. one yellow eyed demon doesn't prove anything just that demons of his rank are rare or that his specific job in hell grants him that quality.
