When you do dungeons and raids at your level, you get what is called "personal loot." The game rolls independently for each person to see if they get a drop that fits their loot spec (you can set which spec you want loot, so you can run as a dps, but get tank loot if you're a warrior). So a boss could drop a piece for everyone, or no one. If all you get is gold when you loot a boss, you didn't win a roll for gear.
When you get to higher level, if you run raids that are 11 levels below you, or more, it runs "legacy loot" where it will drop items as if 20 people are raiding, of all classes. That way, if you want to solo raids, you can get more stuff (But it's not necessarily for your class).
