Unless something has significantly changed, skinning lower level mobs should give lower tier hides - so for mangled, levels 5-12 or so should give mangled. However, someone else mentioned getting ratty hides off lower level critters so now I too am confused. The only skinner I have has only just passed 100 skill and is still working on low things - which are predictably dropping only mangled (in the CB area).

Edit - mangled bundles are an outfitter recipe, which you should get very early on - was level 4, but they may have dropped it to level 3 to be a bit more logical.
