Well my theory is probably way too dark, but I'd go with...
a) she is really dead, but next week the Doc will save her, maybe by killing Davros and removing the Daleks from existence.
b) we'll get a season watching as the thing worse than the Daleks slowly rises the universe all goes to pot etc. If I were choosing I'd turn humanity itself into the universal oppressor
c) we'll get a finale where the doc presses the big red reset button at Clara's insistence, goes back rescues Davros and Clara gets killed again as a result
Basically the whole Buffy has to sacrifice Angel to save the world type of plot
