The only time you would get one shotted in any form is if there is a mob that does an insane amount of damage for your level.
I levelled to 60 as shadow and never once got 1shotted except when being ganked by high levels in STV (an aimed or multishot crit from a lvl 70 hunter or critting ambush from a 70 rogue MAY 1shot you at 38, but even then it's not too likely).
If your concerned about survivability you will find holy a nasty surprise as well. Shadowform reduces physical damage taken. There is nothing in the holy end of things to help with physical damage. If anything you are MORE likely to take a pasting and die as holy, as your dps is comparatively worse than that of a shadow priest so you wont kill the mob/player before they kill you.
The only talent tree that has high survivability is Discipline, mainly aimed at PvP. This tree has its advantages, but you will suffer in terms of spell damage and healing power compared to other specs.
My advice is to stay as Shadow if you enjoy it. After all, you play to have fun right? Until you get 1shot by something don't worry what others say.
