Okay so far:  the axis is (x1-x2, y1-y2, z1-z2).

This part does not make geometric sense to me.  Lines don't have an 
angle of rotation around an axis of rotation.  Lines may form angles 
with other lines if they intersect (and I assume these two lines 
intersect at (x1, y1, z1)), but those have nothing to do with rotations.

It sounds as though we are thinking about very different things, so I 
would guess not.

I don't understand your problem well enough to give any useful advice.
