A warlock's invocations all use the somatic component. A grappled/pinned character cannot cast any spells with a somatic component, regardless of how good their concentration roll is, and I would assume the same applies to the "special" somatic versions of spell-like abilities they use as invocations. There is no reason to expect warlocks to be particularly good at getting out of a grapple/pin once they are in one. Unlike wizards and sorcerors, they cannot use the feat Still Spell, nor do they have vocal only invocations. So once in, they have no magical way to get out, and their physical way of getting out doesn't look good.
Am I reading this wrong or is this a weakness that anti-warlocks can exploit?
