As for the original question, I'm leaning more toward Steven dying and coming back as Rose. Though I'd also like to think that if it was just serious wounds, he would either be able to heal it himself with his spit, or his gem would be able to temporarily sustain him until they could get him to a hospital. I also like TriangleMan's theory about it, it's less gloomy from a viewer's perspective.

I'd hope that if he did die, Rose would be able to keep his consciousness alive within her gem forever.

@RimeTheIcewing Jasper did call Steven/Rose weak, maybe she took it off just to prove how weak he was.
