Is Fiendish Resilience an Ability or Invocation?

As it is stated:
Fiendish Resilience (Su): Beginning at 8th level, a warlock knows the trick of fiendish resilience. Once per day, as a free action, he can enter a state that lasts for 2 minutes. While in this state, the warlock gains fast healing 1.

At 13th level, a warlock's fiendish resilience improves. When in his fiendish resilience state, he gains fast healing 2 instead. At 18th level, a warlock's fiendish resilience improves to fast healing 5.
The DnD Tools quote here mentions it being "a state," and thus, is that NOT a spell?

So...should Fiendish Resilience be dispellable?

It's tagged with the (Su) "Supernatural Ability" tag, which per the SRD:
Supernatural Abilities (Su)
Supernatural abilities are magical and go away in an antimagic field but are not subject to spell resistance, counterspells, or to being dispelled by dispel magic. Using a supernatural ability is a standard action unless noted otherwise. Supernatural abilities may have a use limit or be usable at will, just like spell-like abilities. However, supernatural abilities do not provoke attacks of opportunity and never require Concentration checks. Unless otherwise noted, a supernatural ability has an effective caster level equal to the creature’s Hit Dice.

Thanks for that tidbit.

Fiendish Resilience and Epic Fiendish Resilience are dispelled by Mords, currently. And I didn’t think it should be, thus the OP.

Can this get mechanically fixed oh Great and Powerful Devs?!?

This question should actually be directed to dm team.
I would like to request an official DM ruling here, please. Thank you in advance!

I don't think it should be dispelable either. I'll take a look at it.
Edit: fixed.
