What would be a good way to do deadreckoning for a topdown 360 mouse aiming shooter? Because the player will be likely to move the mouse around alot, so everytime he sends its direction.
Oh sweet mary.

One technique would be to understand that seeing the persons exact direction isn't critical for the game to work. Just make it so that whenever he shoots or whatever he's doing, that you send the direction to which he's shooting. That way if and when the game does desync, the critical information that effects gameplay, wont mess with the game because of lag.
So basically what you would want to do is make an online object that is capable of receiving a 360 value, then smoothly changing to it.
For example, if they are 300, then they get the value 360, it will go from 305, 310, 315, 320, etc until it reaches 360. This way you get a rough idea of where the person is looking, providing that online feedback. But you also have the flexibility to make sure gameplay isn't altered because of a desync.
