It's pretty simple. Aura is defensive, Semblance is offensive. Your Aura is all about protection in the form of shields and healing, it also has a visual component, flowers, light etc. Your semblance is a unique attack that can be combined with your chosen Dust powered weapon. Let's say in MMO terms that the Semblance is your Elite skill.
