A Main? What is a "Main Toon"?

...Ah, every blog I read, every forum I visit, the general rule of thumb somehow revolves around a character or a "toon" most people refer to as their "Main". The toon that gets ALL the attention, orbs, saronites and BiS (Best-in-Slot) items.

This is even more so amplified when you stand around in Dalaran and inspect the Uber, Leet characters roaming around the bank steps. With my GearScore addon, I hover over these toons and see nothing but Dark Red numbers (which typically means they are at least 5300+ scores and the highest i've inspected at 6100+) which makes me kinda sorta jealous.

I think to myself, wow, I am really running behind on gear item levels since my highest character probably only has about 5200+ score per my add-on. On some rare occasions that I actually get to run a raid with one of these Leet toons, they always seem to talk about how this is their only toon since they started or this is their "MAIN" character. Perhaps this is what makes me very different from these "main" toons. I may not have an UBER, LEET geared character, but between my Druid, Paladin, Mage, Hunter, Shaman, Warrior, Rogue and Death Knight which are all level 80 with decent gear, how do I pick a "MAIN" character to kill the Lich King?

I enjoy raiding with all of them, I love that I get to experience the strenghts and weaknesses on each of them and when I feel like playing a different role, I just get on one that floats my boat. I think thats the reason I am such the Altoholic, is that I believe that all these toons are my "Mains", they all deserve the attention I give them and the play time I spend on them. Will this attitude hinder me from obtaining a Lich King kill before Cataclysm? Should I focus on ONE character to play and "uberfy" (made that word up just now btw)? How do I even pick one?. . .
