shows you gear that needs to be upgraded, suggests enchants for your gear (but not gems) and also shows a graph of which content will be easy-challenging-or practically impossible (a.k.a. you are NOT prepared).
Minimums:
Tanking- 535 defense, over 20K HP for heroics. 540 defense for any raid content, 25k HP for Naxx 10. This goes up with the level of raid content. I've seen tanks for TOC 25 with 40K+ HP.
DPS: *Get Hit Capped* Find out what hit-cap is for your class and spec. Get that. Every time you miss, that is resources spent on something that didn't damage the boss.
You will want to make sure you can pull at least 1600-2000 DPS on boss fights. Test your DPS with recount on a target dummy in a major city. If you are able to get 1500-1700 self-buffed you will probably get up to 2K with full raid buffs.
Healers: For Naxx10 you want to have 1600 spellpower minimum, unbuffed. Probably having at least 16-17K mana unbuffed will help as well. Other stats such as crit/int/spirit/MP5 will depend on your class and spec (E.g. NO spirit for pallies). As you progress in raids your mana pool and spellpower will go up. By the time you get to TOC level gear you will probably be over 2K spellpower unbuffed, and 20K mana.
Hope this helps! Gear score is only one small part of the big picture of what is needed to raid! I could show up to a gear inspection in my healer gear and get a gear score of "Wow, awesome!" but if I were coming along as tank, by the time I got my tank gear on my gear score would only be "Meh"at best. My tank gear is perfectly adequate for content up through Naxx25, but I am not stupid enough to try tanking Ulduar in it.
My hunter has mostly item-level 200 epics. She can manage 3K DPS which is adequate for Ulduar 10, VOA 10, stuff like that. Since I have healed lots of stuff on my pally, I know the fights, I just have to make minor adjustments to my button-pressing to use DPS abilities instead of healing abilities.
There are people on my server who are HORRIBLE players. They got gear scores off the charts by ninja looting stuff from the players who carried them through content. Gear score is only a very small part of what makes a player ready to do well at raiding.

A good rule of thumb is if you have to ask if you're geared enough, you aren't. If you were geared enough you'd know it.
