I've heard that some games run faster with DX11 than 10, and it would be nice if the new graphics engine didn't just give us the fabled 50% fps increase, but some due to DX11 as well.

I suppose they could start using DX11 if the graphics rewrite goes well. That said I really can't see them not having DX11 in mind as they are doing the rewrite. It may not get implemented yet, but I'm sure it will at some point in development. The developer has always made available new features as the game resources allow.

Edit.... the developer has found it necessary not to comment on what will make any patch unless their absolutely sure it will make the build. I certainly don't blame them for that as we brought it on ourselves.

From playing Crysis 2 with the Directx11 add on, I can tell you it takes a lot more graphics power, but it looks amazing.

But that's when you up the graphics to include proprietary DX11 features that you take a FPS hit. What about playing both versions with the exact same eye-candy features enabled? How do the FPS compare then?

Nope. Luthier said that it was not supported, but would be a priority. Then he said nothing about it again for almost a year now.
