It has been about a couple years since the Warlock entered the show. The question that comes to mind is, just how much aid has the class been given?
I know there is an official draconic version - the Dragon Fire Adept from Dragon Magic, if I recall correctly, but that is another class entirely. In regards to the Warlock, how many invocations has it received from other books since Complete Arcane was released? Has the number of invocations even come close to equaling the number found in CA (10 Eldritch Essence, 5 Blast Shape, and 35 other invocations)? I know that CM has 2 Eldritch Essence, 1 Blast Shape, and 19 other invocations, but what other (WotC) sources for invocations are there? I looked into Libris Mortis and Frostburn but found nothing.
What about the Dragon Fire Adept? I have not seen it, so I wonder - are its invocations something that could be granted to the Warlock? That is to say, are their invocations - or whatever they are called for that class - arranged in four rankings, each rank gained at about the same level as with the warlock - suggesting a similar level of power build up at similar level, and so forth?
I don't expect much, but I am hopeful that a few invocations exist here and there that - collectively - have at least doubled the number of invocations found in Complete Arcane.
Also, I seem to recall that there were a couple threads a while back with Celestial and Aberration / Alien variants of the Warlock - differing named, flavored, or even mechanics invocations to match. Are these typically thought to be balanced (in which case their invocations could be added to the core list of collective invocations for the Warlock)? Are other variants existent here or elsewhere (fey, perhaps, or maybe undead, etc)?
