What is the most effective way to handle a pit in a scenario like that? Say a dog has his jaws locked (not technically LOCKED, I know) on another animal or person, how do I get the thing off? Any tips?

Kick/hit the dog as hard as you can in the balls.

I've heard anecdotes about sticking your fist in a pitbull's ass if it gets its teeth around you, but if that's not true and effective (or possible?), you'd look pretty silly fisting a dog while during the last seconds of your life.
