Skinners, who required Finkle's Skinner to even skin the Beast, claimed that they should be able to keep it, and sell it on the AH. Everyone else, who needed it to craft some bit of epic gear, claimed that everyone should roll on it, because the skinner would not have been able to skin it in the first place without the help of the raid. And all of this assumes that the Pristine Hide was even skinned at all, since it wasn't 100% drop rate.
Now, it appears that engineers can "tinker" mechanical corpses in Ulduar, and have a chance to obtain one of the parts used in crafting the Mechanohog/Mekgineer's Chopper. These parts are normally purchased from a vendor for between 1000-3000g (depending on what the part is).
Mark my words, it is not going to be very long before we start seeing weekly threads about whether or not engineers should get to keep these non-BoP parts, or the rest of the raid wanting to roll on them. I look forward to the entertainment. ;)
