So many people complain about dieing. :<
Your two major problems sound:
Pulling to much mobs -> Learn your aggro range, learn how much mobs you can take. Sometimes a bit trial and error is needed to learn, just bit trough it. Drinking is something that happens during the lower levels, a lot.
Fighting mobs equal level or higher -> Priest are a bit at the weak side, especially during the lower levels. Try to fight/quest that match or level or are lower. It gives much more control, you kill faster and they hurt a bit less.
Three handy tips:
Don't be afraid to drink/eat a lot. You need to learn your class and you rather learn with full bars then half empty bars.
Get a wand. A wand can do a lot DPS and especially is there when you reach oom during a hard moment.
And don't give up. The priest start is a hard one compared to other classes. It ain't easy until level 40. And the first 10-15 levels are agony for a lot players. You are learning a new class, new mechanics, new tactics, new aggro ranges and all that stuff. Just keep going for a while, be careful and look behind you.

Dieing at lower levels? Never heard of something like that! Really, priests die a lot at lower levels, and as a result, you get many alts that never end up reaching lvl 30.
Make sure to cast Power Word: Shield before each fight, that gives you x amount of absorption, meaning you take x amount less damage throughout the fight. I'd also like to reiterate on a wand, wands offer great dps at early levels and are a mana-free attack. Furthermore, Renew is a great source of healing mid fight. Cast that instant spell and as the mob hurts you, you passively heal yourself.
Hang in there until lvl 40 when you get shadowform. If you need to, run a lot of instances. The gear will help you survive and you'll have no trouble getting in b/c your very suitable for healing, no matter what spec you choose.
