Hmm, do you have Spirit Tap? That is a staple for all leveling priests.
Rotation at level 15 should be something like Smite > Mind Blast > Smite > Wand until death. I did this and it worked fine, just keep PW:S up if needed.
Gear for Spirit => Intellect > Spell Power > Stamina.
At 15, Holy should look like
this.
You should max Divine fury after Holy Specialisation, and go for Desperate prayer and use Healing Focus/Improved Renew as more fillers for Searing light, holy light, spiritual guidance, holy reach, Surge of light and Spirit of redemption for soloing at around 40.
Then you can decide to go Shadow for quick leveling as Mind Flay starts dealing decent damage compared to smite, but at 50 Shadow speeds up so much with replenishment.
Ofcourse, it is all a playstyle choice of which tree to choose, but Shadow is faster for leveling post 40, and certainly post 50.

I die too fast, I heard priests have good survivibility.
I'm not sure how you're dying at all. Low levels are easy :\
Though I would recommend just going shadow right from the start. Simpler that way.

I lvled as shadow till 48 but didnt rly like was just pushing it thru to get to 70(max lvl at the time), However i speced disc @ 3.0 and it suited my playstyle much more; guessing its preety bad pre 40-50ish tho.
Remember it will be worth it in the end, it took me ages to lvl my priest and i rly didnt enjoy it all that much, but now im really happy tht i did lvl a priest coz i love all 3 specs, priest is probly my favorite class by along way now.

Just level as shadow. You'll be happier that and you can still heal any of the low level instances no problem, and if anyone tells you different just go and prove it too them. I leveled as shadow and healed everything right to level 70 (TBC).
As for dying, use PW:S and renew at all times, then when you hit 20, make sure you use devouring plague, the health back will keep you alive along with renew, and it does good dmg.
Spec out of holy though, it's such a slow grind. And go disc at 80, its hella fun.

Not to be a total dyck about it but, have you considered that maybe the priest class just isn't for you? I mean, I can't play rogues for the life of me, or warriors either. But I can rock the house with caster classes and hunters!

Take up enchanting or find some enchanter who can craft you a wand. The crafted enchanter wands are MUCH better then anything you will get from quests at that level. Just always get the biggest one you can carry and wand everything to death. Yes, they will deal more damage then your spells. Without any mana cost.
Wand everything to death and use your mana to keep yourself alive. Occasionally add in Holy Fire and Mind Blast if you have enough mana and get bored.

Second this. I was struggling at levels 10-12 till I got this advice off one of the boards. Don't open with your wand though. Use it after the mob drops to 50% or less health and you should be fine on mana.
Btw, I leveled disc and loved it every step of the way. Slower than shadow perhaps, but I had a great time in instances and group quests. You could also try making friends with a warrior, the combo worked for me.
