Start with Normal difficulty instances, like Halls of Lightning, or ToC, and get PVE gear like that, before doing Heroics. Once you've got a good amount of ilvl 200 Heroic gear, go for H ToC, which will grant some ilvl 219's to ya.

Go to ToC, do the daily heroic, and farm badges for epic purplz
Then go on guild raids. Try not to pug raids, imo they always fall apart.

Why is it that people seem to think that with a bunch of blue gear that they can head straight into raids?
1200DPS is passable for heroics. Go run them and gear up. Buy crafted gear as necessary. You don't have any excuse for using a L78 rare axe when crafted epics are cheap as chips nowadays.

Your spec is bad for Raid DPS. No righteous vengeance? Really?
Your gear is bad for Raid DPS. +9 stamina gem sums it up pretty well.
Your DPS is bad for Raid DPS. Seriously, a level 74 prot paladin can pull 1200.
DPS needs two things to scale up. They are GEAR and SKILL. Any ammount of purplz will only increase your DPS minimally if you keep on failing hard as a player.
You should probably read the stickies moar.

Its ilvl 187->200>213->219->226->232->239->245>251(->272).
Not 187->232 (Koralon VoA10).
Yes, you can jump a lot of ilvls in the process. Doing HCs in 187/200 for badges to buy 226, or doing dailies to buy 232/245 is perfectly fine (this one takes a ton of dailies). But its fine because you are doing content you have gear for, just the rewards are far better. Its not fine to go raiding unless you are, say, two steps of ilvls below the ones that drop there.
The thing I dont understand is
I am doing as much PVP as I can stand, I think I prefer PVE, but as a Ret Pally with PVP gear on, I cant seem to get into a group/raid to get BETTER gear for raiding.
No, I understand the sentence perfectly and I also understand
why
you cant get into any raid. What I dont understand is why a player who
think I prefer PVE
wants to equip himself with a PvP gear to run PvE raids. There is NO PvP raid, not even VoA.

Run ToC5 normal as much as possible (look into the database to find out what drops). Also run all other heroics as much as possible for Emblems of Conquest (you can only go once each day per dungeon, but theres plenty of them). Keep buying gear for the emblems in Dalaran. You may try ToC5 HC also but as for now, I would better wait a moment (or get carried, 1200 DPS is low, but still counts).
As you reach the point when theres nothing more to buy for the Emblems of Conquest, you are
more
than ready to go ToC10 and Koralon in VoA10 (the other bosses are easier, but go and try to find a group just for them).

Nightmare Tear! That ROCKS! All the other Meta Gem only I was looking at, well they kinda SUCK.
Champion Seals... I will be there tonight! A guildie has that sword on his DK, it is SWEET, but I out DPS him in BG's almost all the time, with my outdated Axe. Is that really going to make a huge difference?
Your weapon is by far the most important piece of gear.
by far.

Keep grinding out Heroic ToC every day.
This great
axe
drops there.
Or better yet, you could (if yer lucky... i have yet to get this) have this sweet
polearm
I know on the surface the axe looks better... but slap in an epic gem and the pole-arm is better.

Um, Nightmare Tear is not a meta gem. Its a prismatic gem that matches red, blue, and yellow sockets.
