Looks like Garth found the cassette you want, no?  A couple of other 
thoughts:

-  If I understand Kevin's solution from the other thread, 10 speed and 11 
speed are essentially the same cog spacing, while the 11 speed cassette 
driver part of the hub is simply longer than the 8/9/10 driver, to hold the 
additional cog.  If so, the finesse required to friction shift 11 speed 
should be no different than for 10 speed.  The subtext however, is that 
going to 11 speed is going to require a new wheel.

-  Microshift makes thumbshifters for 10 speed road AND 10 speed mountain 
derailleurs, that have a friction option.  Somewhere in yet another recent 
thread, Bill confirmed that the road version will work on shimano bar end 
pods and/or downtube bosses.

-  I have a 10 speed shimano mtn group on my mountain bike, with the 
mtn-specific microshift thumbshifters.    These have a different cable pull 
ratio (something like 1:1), while the 10 speed road group still uses the 
old standard shimano 1.67:1 ratio.  This is probably a different aesthetic 
than you're looking for (all black), but thought I'd mention how happy I am 
with it.  The indexing works so well, that I've never even been tempted to 
use the friction mode - which is a first for me.  I don't know if the road 
version is as good, but there's still the friction option - unlike with 
dura ace bar ends.
