Wondering if all I would need is rear der, chain, cassette, carrier for p-tap and shifter. Would the front shifting need to change?

You may be able to get by without a new rear derailleur. I have a bike with a 9-spd derailleur running 10-spd without issue. It will work fine as long as the limit screws allow the full length of the slightly wider cassette. I've run an 8-spd front with 9-spd chain without issue, but when I switched to 10-spd chain the 8-spd front derailleur started to have issue with the thinner chain. YMMV

You'll need a new rear derailleur.
The 11-speed shimano shifters and RD (and FD too) have a completely different cable pull per shift. (Unlike 9 and 10 speed RDs, which had a similar cable pull ratio, it was mostly the shifters that changed.)

ahh, news to me. Thanks for correcting that.

If you have the last version of 2012 10-speed SRAM Red on your bike, then you only need to change out your cassette and shifters. Probably changing the chain to 11-speed is a good idea as well for smoother shifting, but is not absolutely needed.

No kidding? Shimano has had the same rear derailleur geometry across their line (including MTB) since 9 spd. How did it change and how much?

Also, IIRC, shimano changed the cable pull in MTB when it went to 10-speed (not sure which way they went), but shimano says that their 10-speed road RDs are not cross-compatible with their 10-speed mountain RDs (but some non-shimano folks say they work 'ok' together).
