Wait...

3d coords are much more difficult. With a 2d system, you just have a
single number, 'angle'.
With a 3d system, you either need to use a quarternion or a 3x3
rotation/scaling matrix.


Sounds horrible, but I would recommend the 3x3 matrix as it's a lot
faster, and you can set things up so it rotates and scales in the same
step.
