My problem is that I can't assign champions to the mission because I still only have 2 Champions. I've searched all over the place in Wowhead and, although there is lots of information about the quests, there is no information on the quest chains required to get the additional champions.

I believe this quest is supposed to proc at level 103, However I have yet to see this quest at all and I am level 110. I already did the quests to unlock the treant troops and the first set of 2 champions however I still do not see this. Is it a error?
