I've ran ZG with them before and they were very fair and efficient at clearing. The OP probably could have afforded epic riding. As a fellow scrub hunter, I have to say that his BOE gear and scope probably cost over 900g, it is almost an excessive investment.
I don't think they intended to ninja, just an unfortunate miscommunication. If I were leading a pug I also wouldn't allow people without epic riding to roll, because it's possible that they will quit the game before training epic riding, while those already with epic riding may have been waiting for a long time for the mount. It happens all the time, a noob sees a purple item and wants it badly, and they either don't use it or they quit. It's kind of a common sense loot rule which may not be explained because of the low probability of the mount even dropping. It's like if the Baron's sword drops, you sort of create loot rules on the spot because no one is prepared. It takes such a rare drop to create drama. I understand the OP's outrage but I don't think it warrants wiping the group and strong public accusations. It could have been resolved by bringing the OP on a second run with the tiger reserved or something, which will not be possible after he wiped the group and created this thread. There could have been a creative solution, but not anymore.
