TheWoWDBI didn't do any of the Essence quests from the Dreamway and I still completed the Order Hall Campaign and got the third artifact relic slot, skin and Archdruid title. I don't think these are required.

Darkheart Thicket: Essence of Regrowth
Quest facts and objectives from the current retail game data.
The highest voted Wowhead comments for this page. They are community notes, not TheWoWDB comments.
If you abandon Darkheart Thicket: Essence of Regrowth or Eye of Azshara: Essence of Balance you will not see the interactive objects needed to initiate them. Halls of Valor: Essence of Ferocity and Neltharion's Lair: Essence of Tenacity are still obtainable if abandoned.
I am opening a ticket and suggest you do too if you're affected. More tickets will probably result in a quicker hotfix for this issue hopefully!
You have to join a group to [zone=7673]. Normal, heroic or mythic are all okay. [item=140313] drops from Oakheart - it is the second boss of the instance, but dont leave as you got [item=140313], keep in mind that you also have to defeat [npc=99192] - the last boss too, so you have to do a full run.

Description
My child, I can think of only one place to capture the essence of regrowth. Deep within Darkheart Thicket is Oakheart, a loyal ancient defender of the grove. He has recently fallen to the Nightmare's corruption, but deep within his heart, he still fights. Gather the essence of this great tree, so that his everliving soul may be used to fuel new life.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Halls of Valor: Essence of Ferocity
To find the essence of ferocity, you must seek a creature who has slain thousands, and is revered by even the gods. I speak of none other than the wolf, Fenryr, whom you can find hunting in the eternal forests of the Halls of Valor.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Eye of Azshara: Essence of Balance
Within the Eye of Azshara in Azsuna, a powerful being known as the Wrath of Azshara grows in strength. It is a blasphemy of nature - an infusion of stolen arcane power, and cannot be allowed to exist. Slay it. In its aftermath, you may find the essence of balance that you seek.
