4,5,6,2,1,10 are all correct.

I would explain - 
1 as anag,
2 as GRAV(IT)Y
4 as AP(OGE)E, ego rev in ape
5 as AZ+ IMUTH (hum it - anag)
6 as (GRIPE+EE) - anag
10 as a dd.

These explanations could help others who are enthusiastic about solving these things. Thanks.

#8 is correct.
#7 is almost correct. So I will mark it correct. I was thinking ORBITER / ARBITER (what goes around / Judge). I made the correction in letter count for #7 (from 6 to 7). You probably missed it.
