Microsoft do not allow installing Windows on an external drive. Part of their anti-piracy measures. Do you not have Windows on a DVD? Your model MBP has a superdrive.

Why don't you burn the Windows 8 iso to a DVD and use that to install from the Boot Camp assistant? Is your optical drive not working?
Or, you can watch this YouTube video to learn how to create a bootable Win 8 flash drive.
