3x3 Animation

[Chqp]

How would I need to set up an animation that would replicate the desired outcome in the picture? I want it to move in a counter-clockwise fashion about the caster as an AoE cleave. I haven't started toying with the many possible combinations as I figured you guys might have an answer. 

 

Would I need to make something like a 3x3 of 96x96 pixel squares and in the corner of the squares my image will be placed? I'm trying to wrap my head around where I need to place the image and how big the initial image should be as well as all the other options within the animation editor (vertical/horizontal frames and # of frames). Any advice or instruction is appreciated before I start the trial and error process of finding the right combination.

Just have animation frames be 96x96 and rotate it.
