Not entirely. Tor will hide your IP address, but not your Bitcoin address(es). Anyone who knows one of your Bitcoin addresses (eg, because they paid you, or you paid them) can see all past and future transactions involving that address (though they won't necessarily know what those transactions are for), and may provide that information to the authorities. Using a new address for each time your receive coins will reduce the number of transactions you can linked to, and you can use mixing services to further conceal the true origin of your transactions, though the fact the you used a mixing service may still be evident, even if nobody can tell where your mixed coins went.

i'd like to know how you are going to get a custom designed tor-qt!!!???

not happening mate.
What are you talking about? Bitcoin-Qt has Tor support built in. If you're looking for a GUI for Tor itself that uses Qt, I suggest Vidalia.

For instance, would running behind Tor protect me?

Ask Ross Ulbricht what he thinks.

We all know it's not anonymous, but curious to hear opinions from the experts around BCT.

What steps need to be taken to make it anonymous?
