Well, if you want to go to 10's anyways, you might put those strings on first and see where you are. I doubt the difference between 10's and 11's will have a significant impact on your high action problem, but you'll get to see the impact for yourself. If you still want to take it to a tech for a setup (you probably will, since it's unlikely the high action problem will be fixed by changing strings), you can take it in with the strings you want already installed.
