This, though I'm female ;) Imposter scarfed Blissey basically has twice the bulk of any setup sweeper and an extra +1 to speed. If you've been boosting attacking stats, you're screwed unless you have a way to block the attack, which is where Sturdy Shedinja comes into play. If you've been boosting defensive stats... well, you'd better have a phazer or something immune to the move it picks, because otherwise that Blissey ain't going anywhere until it's out of PP.
The idea of running Shedinja without Sturdy is an interesting one... people expect it so much that they might not even try to attack. But then, what might you replace it with? Magic Guard comes to mind, preventing KOs from indirect damage instead, but you lose the ease of switching in plus one round of Sandstorm and the jig is up. Though it might be amusing, if somewhat gimmicky, to run two Shedinja, one with Sturdy and one with Magic Guard... heh.
