bite her back?

I wouldn't bite her back. If she starts hitting/kicking/pinching etc would you do it back to her as well?
She could just be doing it for attention, even negative attention is attention to a toddler. I'd try to teach her that teeth are for biting food only, explain (she might not understand at the moment but it doesn't hurt to start) that it hurts and we don't bite other people, and when she does it simply remove her from the situation.
It is a stage most kids go through, and the more you make a big deal out of it the more she is probably going to do it.

I was a biter. My mum tried everything. In the end she bit me back (not super hard just enough to get my attention) and said do you like mummy biting you? Then don't bite other people!

Worked on me. But I would try other things first . I think the consequence of not being near you is a good one. If she's not doing it to be naughty and she sees you upset or a consequence to herself it may make her think twice.
