Raids are dungeons that require more than five people to complete. There are raid dungeons from the classic game when level 60 was the cap. Most of those required 40 level 60 characters to do. There are raid dungeons from the Burning Crusades expansion. Most of those required 25 level 70 characters to complete. Those are all obsolete, though. Most of them can be single manned to three manned by level 80 characters, but don't have anything in them to make them really worth the trouble. Unless, you want the achievement, a mount one of the bosses drops, or just to experience the story behind the dungeon.
With Wrath of the Lich King they started allowing you to choose between a 25 man version and a 10 man version of any raid dungeon. Level 80 raids are where you will find all the best gear in the game that you need to progress your character.
The level 80 raid dungeons are (From easiest to hardest) Naxxramus, Obsidian Sanctum, Eye of Eternity, Ulduar, Onyxia's Lair, Trial of the Crusader, Icecrown Citadel, and Ruby Sanctum.
There is little reason (other than weekly raid quests) to go to any of the raids under Onyxia's Lair at this point as you can get better gear than what you would get from Naxx, OS, EoE, or Uld from the emblems you pick up while doing heroic dungeons at level 80.
