Most hosts offer dedicated IP address as an add-on for their shared webhosting services. For example, WestHost does, and so does HostGator. The reason almost all web hosts offer dedicated IP addresses is because you have to have a dedicated IP to have an SSL certificate.

Your assumption about getting better CPU and RAM bursts verses VPS is not true at all hosts. Worse, most of the time, whatever that maximum allowed amount is, it is not usually disclosed. Until your site gets forced offline, you won't know how close you are coming to hitting it.

Even worse than that, is that since that number is neither disclosed, nor guaranteed in your service agreement, it can change. A shared host running with plenty of room might indeed allow a big burst from your site, but if several sites on that shared host are bursting, the amount of available overhead will be lower and that same burst won't be allowed that time around and your site will end up offline.
