Encryption I can understand (I'd still recommend HTTPS Everywhere incase your VPN provider keeps logs/collects data) but if you use it all the time you only end up with the IP of your VPN being associated with you. Does that give you more anonymity?

It does, you share the IP with others so anyone trying to track you ends up tracking a big number of users. Without your actual IP they cannot guesstimate your location or contact your ISP either.
