local _,_,_,_,_,_,_,zone = GetInstanceInfo()
if zone==1191 then
	print("I am in Ashran")
elseif zone==732 then
	print("I am in Tol Barad")
end
This approach does NOT work in Wintergrasp though because when you are there you will get the 571 return which is the Northrend id both during Wintergrasp battle or between battles (when it is like any Northrend zone).
You can use this to detect if the battle is active or not:
