Around how long until RTR, GC, and DM fall out of standard?
Basically - standard always has the most recent core set and the two most recent blocks. So the RTR block won't cycle out until the block after Theros arrives. That will be a long time away.

It will rotate next fall with the release of the "heuy" set/block. At this time M14 will also rotate. Each block has 2 years in standard, core sets 1 year, all give or take a month or two. And the rotate with the realese of the first in the block the year they are to rotate. This is the 'last 2 block and current core set' definition of standard.
Note: from July to fall we have 2 coresets, current and one before that.

I saw that born of the gods was in febuary and then journey into nyx is at the end of april or something, I was wondering if there was any idea of how long there usually is between blocks.

First set in a block. The current example is M13 and Innistrad rotated out when Theros was released sept 27th, 2013.

Ages. RtR block won't cycle out until the set after the Theros block comes out, I believe. We haven't even reached the second part of Theros yet (Born of the Gods).
