Have you thought about using 
       sin(theta + Dtheta)=sin(theta)*cos(Dtheta) + cos(theta)*sin(Dtheta)
       cos(theta + Dtheta)=cos(theta)*cos(Dtheta) - sin(theta)*sin(Dtheta)
which are of the form
       a(n+1)=a(n)b0+b(n)a0  and b(n+1)=b(n)b0-a(n)a0

You would want to update your sin and cos at table values (to prevent error
propagation), and if Dtheta is a constant you would only need to calculate 
cos(Dtheta) and sin(Dtheta) once, or load it in as a constant.  Since Dtheta 
is small you should be able to use a short taylor series.
