But they said I cant use both, or at least I cant use WiFi with static ip's. Eveyting has to be auto or dhcp. Major issue with me, totally unsecure. My company requires encryption on all personal wifi devices.

In your case the device should switch to 3G once "no available Wifi" service is in effect. Additionally I think the device should switch once a data request is made.
It does switch when leaving the range of the wifi router. I know that i've caught myself forgetting to turn off the wifi once i've left... and that would be a major drain on the battery.
