You don't say if this happens in the BIG ring, small ring or both. If it's just the big ring I'd suspect there isn't enough chain length.
Cross chaining is unnecessary and bad for your drivetrain. I never go more than one cog past the center of my cassette opposite the chainring I use.

If you are going to use the front triple crankset, then you need to use the 6603 components. These are for Triple set-ups.
If you intend to keep your bike a triple, then everything in the drivetrain must be the triple designation, hence the XX03.
If you want to change the crankset to a compact, then you can use the 6600 (double) equipment, but you will need to change the left (front shifter) to a double as well. The compact crankset, will give you virtually the same range as the triple and be much lighter and shift better.
The cassette: You can use any 10 spd cassette from Shimano or SRAM as long as the rear cog is no larger than 27. if you want to use a larger cog like a 28, then you will have to use the 6700 group, assuming yoiu want to stay with shimano ultegra.
Final Note: Since you are chainging everything, you may want to consider the SRAM Apex group, this gives you more gear ratio than the Ultegra, is slightly less expensive and around the same weight. Great alternative to Triple bikes.
Parts you will need to convert:
Rear Derailleur
Front Derailleur (if changing to compact double or Apex)
Chain
Shifter set (if Apex)
Crankset (if Apex or compact shimano)
Bottom Bracket (if Apex)
The biggest thing is that Shifters and rear derailleur must be from the same company (shimano, SRAM, etc.) after that just make sure that yoiu use 10spd with 10spd, 9 with 9, and so on. Everything else can mix and match.
Testimonial: "Thanks v much......ok so will use my 6603 levers, 5603 Hollowtech triple chainset, then 6700 derailleurs (front and back) and 6700 cassette!!!!! "
