I, for one, would like a unique Mithril Point, called the toothpick.
It would have really low durability (think: about 5), chance to blind target, 100% critical strike, ITD (it is small, so it would be hard for armor to keep it away...), 40% faster attack, +1 replenish life (fresh breath), 1% chance open wounds. (I was thinking a small % chance to cast confuse on demon kill, because wouldn't you be confused if someone were to slay a demon with a toothpick?)

The Dark Spark. A Necromancer's item, be it a wand or head, that imparts the "Shadow Bolt" spell that is cast by Greater Mummies. The opposite of the Holy Bolt, the Shadow Bolt harms the living enemy but has no effect on enemy Undead. It does have the additional effect of healing allied Undead, and hence gives the Necro both another ranged attack as well as a conscious means to heal Skellies and Revived.
That, and the name "Dark Spark" sounds cool. So cool, in fact, that the reitschwert I've bought and am awaiting delivery upon is to be named so.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.

I'm not looking for some infinite damage item, or even a weapon of some sort.
I'd have a ring which allows the wearer to open locked chests without keys, to open town portals without scrolls, protection from all monster curses, and a dozen charges of Invisibility.
One might call it, The Freedom Ring.
X-ray vision would be cool, a la Gauntlet, so one could see traps and explosive barrels, and empty trapped chests.

A powerful weapon that grants immense offensive power. However, it contains so much evil power that it will drive mad any mortal touching it. Then the wearer enters insane rage and must steal life to avoid being consumed by the forces of darkness.

Personally I would like a TK-Ring.
The TK (TownKill)-Ring would allow you to act against PKs inside the town!

I wouldn't want any one item. Personally, I would change all the current uniques to possess a negative quality in addition to their positive qualities as a balance measure, such as D1 does with most of its "good" (and poor, for that matter) uniques. For example, a unique with +100% damage and +10 maximum damage might have a -10 Vitality penalty (cannot go below 1).
GET RID OF LEECHING ITEMS!!! Ever play Diablo 1? Well the game is much harder and more challenging with less leeching items, or at least a vastly lower leeching amount, like 1-3%.
I liked being able to wear items with +Strength and swapping them out for other items with +Strength instead of having to actually have the proper strength, as they do in D2. I don't like having what I consider a perfect set-up in D2 and having an additional 30 Strength over and beyond what I need because that Storm Shield gives +30 Strength, but requires more than anything I'm wearing (this is just an example of one of the ways it bugs me).
I like the idea of getting rid of rares and keeping only uniques.
Other than these modifications, I can't think of a single thing more I'd change with uniques ;)

(Edit : typo) That is definitely the best "edit" message ever.

Not sure if it's balanced, but some definite plusses and minuses on this one.
I'll have to post my other idea later.

I'd make a Short Sword that can only be worn in the second slot and can act as a weapon and a shield.

100% Enhanced Damage
Adds (4 Per Character Level) 4-396 Poison Damage Over 2 Seconds
50% Faster Block Rate

Here's some cross-class lameness:
1. An item that grants +1 to fire/coldghtning mastery and +1 to energy shield. Oh, and nothing else. And to really annoy everyone, make it a helm.
2. An item that grants +1 to evade/dodge/avoid.
3. A 3 socket runeword that grants +20 to weapon block.
4. A Necro-only item that grants +20 to shadow bolt (as mentioned above - really cool idea).
4. A bow that grants +1 to strafe.
How about some lame spell triggers?
1. An item that has -100% enhanced damage, so it deals 1 point of physical damage, but comes with 100% chance to cast level 50 FOTH and 100% chance to cast level 50 Holy Bolt on striking. Call it "Divine Wrath" or something.
2. A runeword that has 100% chance to cast level 20 Corpse Explosion "when you kill an enemy" and does nothing else. Works in all weapons.
3. A throwing knife/dagger that has 100% chance to cast level 50 Fire Blast and 100% chance to cast level 50 Shock Web on attacking.
4. A runeword that has 100% chance to cast level 50 Stun on striking. Yes, that's the Barbarian skill. Oh and have it grant +1 to a random barbarian mastery or something similarly annoying. And yes, for laughs, you might get sword mastery on your runeworded axe.
I'm done! None of it is fair!

Time Warp

+25 To Dexterity
+3 To Charge
-25 To All Resistances

Level 7 Decoy (12 Charges)

This makes the attacker fast and nimble, but comes at the price of being more suceptible to enemy attacks. If such an item existed I think it would be fun, and it involves using some strategy.

I think it would be awesome if you could imbue uniques with attributes tha tonly occur when you ocllect all the pieces, a la set items. For instance, if you collect two Bartuc's Cut-throat, for instance. My idea would be
The Poking Stick
Spiked Caned
100% enhanced dmg
50% increased mf
adds 1-100 lightning dmg
adds 50 cold dmg
decreased walk/run speed (it's a cane.......get it?)
decreased attack speed
100% chance to cast lvl 20 blizzard on strike
50% chance to cast lvl 25 meteor on strike
25 % chance to cast lvl 30 fist of the heavens on strike
6 sockets (oh yeah!)
The Devil's Fire Poker
Brimstone Blade
adds 100-200 fire dmg
100% enhanced dmg
adds 50% to mf
100% chance to cast lvl 20 hydra on kill
3 sockets
hit blinds/confuses/openwounds/poisons monster
and....when both are collected, you get
200% enhanced dmg
150% to mf
100 lightning/cold/fire dmg
indestructible
I wanted the weapons to be good by themselves, and great when combined!
