For the time being I'd layer her up: underwear, pull-up/diaper, plastic pants, shirt tucked in, and jeans that are NOT loose (not tight, but ones that just fit). Make it hard for her to be able to pull aside her clothes to pee everywhere, and when you see "the look" hang out in the bathroom.

Yeah, it is not fun for family life and it is not getting at the root of the problem, but honestly, with all of the documenting we did and all the converstations, until visits ended we just planned for the behaviors and if I were you I'd get more aggressive and not allowing her ability to pull aside her clothes for the time being.

It is always worse when things get worse after they had gotten better. I just went through that myself this week, and it is just so sad that the kids are the ones dealing with these feelings that they don't know how else to get out, and then we have to deal with the behaviors and aftermath because of how long the whole process is.

Hang in there, and again, I stress: layer her up, and make it hard for her to be able to pull aside her clothes, at least it will slow her down and you can get her to the bathroom or stop her from aiming the pee on your furninture/floors a bit.

Good Luck with both the puddling and getting through to DHS!
