I never hit flank for more than 30 seconds after the last DC explodes before going back to silent running.

The AI can only do one thing at a time, listen or ping never both together. Not sure if when there are two or more escorts searching for you whether the ones not pinging are listening. I assume they are and therefore only go silent unless a Dc run is in progress. One technique particularly if the DD sounds close is to hit flank before the first DC is dropped letting you get up to a reasonable speed, then turning no more than 10 degrees rudder left or right depending on instinct then leaving the flank run until the last DC explodes then counting 30 secs before slowing down again.
