What do you think Joaquin Phoenix would have been like if he played The Joker in The Dark Knight instead of Heath Ledger?

Ledger was more menacing. Phoenix was great in the context of the movie he was in, but he couldn't pull off the Dark Knight version of Joker like Ledger did.

It would've been something different and unique.

Probably a feature length version of his interview on the Murray show. For as serious as people say Heath played it, I think he embraced the comic bookiness of the character more. He feels like a force of nature and the entire tone shifts when he's onscreen. Phoenix's is more just a very disturbed person, but also very human. Arguably he might fit the stripped down, realistic world of Nolan more than Heath himself. In fact, when Heath was cast, this was more what I imagined the Nolanized Joker would be like (and kinda dreaded).
So a different take, but a good one. But I'm partial to the flamboyant evil villainy of the character and wouldn't love TDK nearly as much otherwise.

TDK would still be boring as hell with Batman being a dumbass.
