I am considering selling my 100-400 and tokina 12-24. there are two lenses i have had my eyes on for quite some time...70-200 2.8 IS and 16-35 2.8. I want to add faster lenses to my kit for indoor low-light shooting.

I have been getting more into sports photography and I have always enjoyed landscapes. I do not really like the perspective at the wide end of the tokina and as a result it barely gets used.

My option is to sell both lenses and put the money into a new one. If you were in my shoes, which would you get first...70-200 or 16-35?

I believe if I had your gear and the same desires, I'd get the 16-35 first. I get the impression that you're disenchanted with the 12-24 and, you will probably get more indoor utility from the 16-35 than from the 70-200; especially since you have the 24-105 if you need additional length, at the expense of speed.

However, speaking out of the other side of my mouth :) , you have to ask yourself if you are willing to be without a FL longer than 105 until you can get the 70-200 for your sports photography.
