Pretty much what the title says. You can't Concentrate while grappled, but Blink is a Blocking spell/instant use ability, and you can make active defenses while grappled. So can you blink away if an enemy has you grappled?
Is the answer different for Blink (the spell) vs. using Warp (the advantage)? What if I take Warp with Active Defense, -40%?

EDIT: Just realized you can't actually apply Active Defense to Warp. I was thinking of some kind of "blink only" version of Warp, more similar to the spell.
